In this work, the performance of steam regenerative-turbine compressor is studied. In spite of the simple construction of this compressor, it is rarely used in practical application . The flow of steam inside the compressor is described through the continuity , momentum and energy equations in integrate form . These governing equations are solved. Numerically, by design a computer program. Tlus program is designed , such that the steam properties are calculated taking into account the behavior of steam as a pore substance. The effect of operating conditions, such as speed of compressor impeller and sucnon pressure, on the performance of the compressor is examined. Moreover. The effect of compressor dimensions. Represented by the pocket radius to impeller radius ratio, is studied.
