Compressor characteristic

Compressor characteristic is the curve to show the behaviour of fluid like change in pressure, temperature, entropy, flow rate etc. as it passes through the compressor at different compressor speeds. The function of a compressor is to increase the pressure of a fluid passing through it, so that the exit pressure is higher than the inlet pressure. Due to this property, compressors are used in a wide range of machines, such as refrigerators, cars and jet engines. These curves are plotted between various parameters and some are as follows
