$$ \eta_ad = \frac\dotWis\dotWactual $$

With $\dotWactual = \dotWind + \dotW_mech-loss$ (bearing and windage losses). $$ \eta_ad = \frac\dotW is\dotW actual $$ With

  • Use for moderate heat transfer; n fit from experiments or approximated (1.1–1.3 for oil-flooded; 1.2–1.4 for well-cooled dry).
  • Once the geometric and thermodynamic models are solved (typically via numerical integration like Runge-Kutta), performance indicators are calculated. Use for moderate heat transfer; n fit from

    Modern profiles (e.g., SRM β€œN” profile) minimize blow-hole area and leakage using conjugate curve generation. Mathematical description: $$ x(t) = R \cos t + a \cos(kt) \quad \text(example epicyclic) $$ Once the geometric and thermodynamic models are solved
