It is pointed out that adiabatic efficiency in general use as expression of overall efficiency for given compression ratio, when applied to multi-stage compressors, leads to discrepancy between individual stage efficiency and overall efficiency; author proposes so-called polytropic efficiency as alternative standard of reference. Brief English abstract from Luftfahrtforschung v 19 n 5 June 20 1942, p 183-7.
