    how to perform energy balance across centrifugal compessor

    Energy - this is enthalpy. The diference between enthalpies at inlet and discharge = energy added by the compressor.

    Centrifugal Compressor Effeciency Calculation.

    If you consider the compression process as an adiabatic process (the inlet and discharge temperature measurement should be close to compressor) then calculate the theoretical discharge adiabatic temperature and compare it with your actial one. This will give you a common view. If you want to...

    how to perform energy balance across centrifugal compessor

    1. Rated power - that is shaft (mechanical) power. During factory tests could be measured with dynometter or electrical generator. On side - easiest way is to calculate the power, consumed from compressor. The termopower is that before efficiency applied. 2. The easiest way is to take your...
