Help on Compressors
(OP)
Hello all,
My company asked me to:
- Write a manual on compressors
- Develop an Excel spreadsheet for preliminary sizing
The context is an engineering company involved in conceptual, basic, detailed studies mainly.
I would like to share ideas with you all on:
- Proper outline for such a manual
- Best references including articles like CHE, CEP, HP
- Existing spreadsheets you could share
- Most important concepts/things to keep in main when dealing with compressors
- other relevant ideas would be more than welcomed
Thanking you all in advance

If you want simple, try this
HP = Pd(absolute)/ Ps (absolute)* 22 * MMSCFD

I do apologize for being too fast when submitting my input.
As a result, it should have said "deals" instead of "deal" ...
