(OP)
Does anyone know a quick calculation for the compressor power needed to generate 4 CFM of 4500 psig air (that is, a compressor outlet flow of 4 CFM)? Compressor inlet would be standard atmospheric (14.7 psia, 60F, 0%RH). I don't need anything too exact, just a good ballpark number.

RE: Does anyone know a quick calculatio
the problem may further be complicated as the air temperature will exceed material limitations. there will definitely need to be cooling of the air at various stages. w/out having a calculator handy, my swag is about 4-5 stages of compression with intercooling and pressure reduction at each stage.
good luck!
