Extract

The note in the July Journal by H. Pearson and A. B. McKenzie (p. 415) shows that the flow into an axial compressor is nearly at a constant velocity at all points in the entry plane; and that if a wake of low energy air is fed into it, the compressor reduces the static pressure locally in this wake, in such a way as to tend to preserve constant velocity over the whole face.
