APPLICATIONS OF AXIAL FLOW COMPRESSORS

Axial flow compressors have wide applications in the following:

1. Jet engines
2. Gas turbines for power plants
3. Steel mills
4. Aircraft applications.

Note that the requirements of compressors for aircraft application:

1. High efficiency
2. Smaller frontal area
3. Suitability for multistaging
4. High starting torque
5. Lesser drag
