From this relationship， it is obvious that polytropic efficiency is the lim-iting value of the isentropic efficiency as the pressure increase approacheszero， and the value of the polytropic efficiency is higher than the correspond-ing adiabatic efficiency. Figure 3-6 shows the relationship between adiabatic and polytropic efficiency as the pressure ratio across the compressor increases. Figure 3-7 shows the relationship across the turbine.
Another characteristic of polytropic efficiency is that the polytropic effi-ciency of a multistage unit is equal to the stage efficiency if each stage has the same efficiency.
.imensional Analysis
Turbomachines can be compared with each other by dimensional analysis. This analysis produces various types of geometrically similar parameters. Dimensional analysis is a procedure where variables representing a physicalsituation are reduced into groups， which are dimensionless. These dimen-sionless groups can then be used to compare performance of various types of machines with each other. Dimensional analysis as used in turbomachinescan be employed to: (1) compare data from various types of machines一it isa useful technique in the development of blade passages and blade profiles，
(2) select various types of units based on maximum efficiency and pressurehead required， and (3) predict a prototype"s performance from tests con-ducted on a smaller scale model or at lower speeds.

Dimensional analysis leads to various dimensionless parameters， which are based on the dimension"s mass (M)， length ( L)， and time ( T). Based onthese elements， one can obtain various independent parameters such as density (ρ)， viscosity ( μ)， speed ( N)， diameter ( D)， and velocity ( V). The independent parameters lead to forming various dimensionlessgroups， which are used in fluid mechanics of turbomachines. Reynolds number is the ratio of the inertia forces to the viscous forces
