Fans & Compressors
Euler Turbo-machine Equation Vwhirl, out Vwhirl, in Applying conservation of angular momentum, the torque, T, must be equal to the time rate of change of angular momentum in a stream tube that flows through the device
Axial Flow Turbo-machines Fan or compressor Rotor Blades The power, P of a fluid Machine
Action & Reaction If the tangential velocity increases across a moving blade then work is added to the flow ( a fan or a compressor). If the tangential velocity decreases across a moving blade then work is removed from the flow (a turbine).

Need for a Stator in multi-stage fan or compressor In general, a rotor also adds kinetic energy along with enthalpy to the fluid. A diffuser known as stator succeed the rotor to convert the excess kinetic energy into enthalpy.
