INTRODUCTION
Thermodynamics extends the principles of mechanics to the continuous, deformable media of compressible fluids. It will therefore have to be applied to compressors and turbines when pressure ratios are sufficiently high for the effects of compressibility to become apparent, which will generally be the case. The basic concepts presented in this article can be used as a basis for the specific study of each type of device developed in the Hydraulic and Thermal Machines section.
