Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for a compressor. The compressor includes a first stage having a first rotor and a first stator, and a second stage downstream from the first stage in a direction of a fluid flow. The compressor also includes a secondary flow system that directs fluid from the second stage into the first stator to improve at least one of a performance and a stability of the compressor.
