Volumetric, piston, 2 stages Note different cylinder sizes
Dynamic compressors Industrial, 8 stage radial Jet engine, centrifugal and axial stages
Power: Compressors pump compressible fluid Pump power relation: dw=Qdp Isentropic (adiabatic) gas approximation: By integration = k k pQ pQ 1 1 1 k p p p k 2 k = = 2 1 w Qdp p Q 1 1 i 1 k 1 p 1
Power: Energy balance = + pdQ Qdp + dw mc dT Energy balance: v + H = E pV Enthalpy: i dw dH Combined ( ) , H p S 2 degrees of freedom, e.g.:
