Editing Compressor (section)

====Diagonal or mixed-flow compressors====
'''Diagonal''' or '''[[mixed-flow compressor]]s''' are similar to centrifugal compressors, but have a radial and axial velocity component at the exit from the rotor. The diffuser is often used to turn diagonal flow to an axial rather than radial direction.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WQcEDAAAQBAJ&q=diffuser+turns+diagonal+flow+to+axial+flow&pg=PT251|title=Pollution Control Handbook for Oil and Gas Engineering|last=Cheremisinoff|first=Nicholas P.|date=2016-04-20|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=9781119117889|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171224222642/https://books.google.com/books?id=WQcEDAAAQBAJ&pg=PT251&lpg=PT251&dq=diffuser+turns+diagonal+flow+to+axial+flow&source=bl&ots=rkZptfuirh&sig=RgvJpyW13dPTS677R4UWIOCaQtU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbvIKZ9NnVAhXD6YMKHWfvCuwQ6AEINzAG#v=onepage&q=diffuser%20turns%20diagonal%20flo&f=false|archive-date=2017-12-24}}</ref> Comparative to the conventional centrifugal compressor (of the same stage pressure ratio), the value of the speed of the mixed flow compressor is 1.5 times larger.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://turbolab.tamu.edu/proc/turboproc/T13/T13139-147.pdf|title=Development of High Specific Speed Mixed Flow Compressors|last=Kano|first=Fumikata|website=Texas A&M University|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140811093700/http://turbolab.tamu.edu/proc/turboproc/T13/T13139%2D147.pdf|archive-date=2014-08-11|url-status=dead|access-date=2017-08-16}}</ref>
