The compressor will recover to normal flow once the engine pressure ratio reduces to a level at which the compressor is capable of sustaining stable airflow. If, however, the conditions that induced the stall remain, the return of stable airflow will reproduce the conditions at the time of surge and the process will repeat. [2]
A compressor map is a chart which shows the performance of a turbomachinery compressor. This type of compressor is used in gas turbine engines, for supercharging reciprocating engines and for industrial processes, where it is known as a dynamic compressor. A map is created from compressor rig test results or predicted by a special computer program.
A similar single stage axial compressors can only increase the pressure by a factor of 1.2 but axial compressors have an advantage over centrifugal compressors because of their ability to have multiple stages. In the multi-staged compressors, the pressure is multiplied from row to row which can increase the pressure by a factor 40.
A representative pressure–volume diagram for a refrigeration cycle. Vapour-compression refrigeration or vapor-compression refrigeration system (VCRS), [1] in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air conditioning of buildings and automobiles.

While fully developed compressor surge is axisymmetric, its initial phase is not necessarily axisymmetric. Actually, severe damage of compressor surge is often related to very large transverse loads on blades and casing in its initial transient. [7] A chain reaction of compressor surge is the flameout of a jet engine. Due to a lack of air ...
The car's Wankel engine is a naturally aspirated single-rotor unit with a chamber volume V k of 830 cm 3 (50.6 in 3), a compression of 11.9, and a rated power output of 55 kW (74 hp). It has petrol direct injection , exhaust gas recirculation , and an exhaust-gas treatment system with a TWC and a particulate filter .
The heated air and the products of combustion expand in a turbine, producing work output. About 2 ⁄ 3 of the work drives the compressor: the rest (about 1 ⁄ 3) is available as useful work output. [47] Gas turbines are among the most efficient internal combustion engines.
