Hi,
Can anyone point me to a comparison of the cost of pumps as a function of pressure (all else being kept constant).
For example, is it cheaper to use two 10bar pumps or one 20-bar pump (ignoring station cost) and how do these numbers scale with pressure and number of pumps.
If a complete...
Sorry if this is a stupid question:
What is the energy cost as a function of pressure. I.e., how much more energy does it take to pressure to Y bar as opposed to Y/2 bar. It seems like it should be a linear function but there are no doubt losses..
