How to determine heat rise in gas compression (low pressure WC to psi
How to determine heat rise in gas compression (low pressure WC to psi
(OP)
I am interested in learning how to determine how much increase in heat/temp you get when you compress wet gas from low pressures (16 WC) to low pressures (2 to 5 psi) as well as the theory behind the solution. Any suggestions on reference texts?

Generally Tdisch = Tsuction * r^((k-1)/k) where r is ratio of compression and k is Cp/Cv. T is in degrees absolute.

Tdis=Tsuc*{1+[r^((k-1)/k)-1]/Ef}
With Ef being the isentropic efficiency.
For centrifugal compressors a value of 0.70 to 0.75 is suitable.
For reciprocating use 0.70 to 0.75 for high speed units and 0.83 to 0.90 for low speed.
