A supersonic compressor system (10) includes a casing defining a cavity (34) extending between a fluid inlet (28) and a fluid outlet (30), a first drive shaft (72) positioned within the cavity, wherein a centerline axis (24) extends along a centerline of the first drive shaft, a supersonic compressor rotor (40) coupled to the first drive shaft and positioned in flow communication between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, the supersonic compressor rotor including at least one supersonic compression ramp (140) configured to form at least one compression wave (142) for compressing a fluid (88), and a centrifugal compressor assembly (46) positioned in flow communication between the supersonic compressor rotor and the fluid outlet, the centrifugal compressor assembly configured to compress fluid received from the supersonic compressor rotor. |
