Question: The pressure, p, on the discharge side of a centrifugal compressor is given by an equation that has the functional form
a. Use the MLt system of fundamental dimensions and show by dimensional analysis (use the algorithm) that:
b. Two geometrically similar air compressors operate in the same room. One compressor is twice as large as the other. The larger operates at 1/2 the speed of the smaller.
(1) How do the mass rates of discharge of the two compressors compare?
(2) How do the discharge pressures compare?
