<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide novel multistage supersonic compressors which provide unexpected enhancements in compressor performance relative to known supersonic compressors. <P>SOLUTION: The supersonic compressor comprises a fluid inlet; a fluid outlet; and at least two counter rotary supersonic compressor rotors. The supersonic compressor rotors 100 are configured in series such that an output from a first supersonic compressor rotor having a first direction of rotation is directed to a second supersonic compressor rotor 200 configured to counter-rotate with respect to the first supersonic compressor rotor. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
