specific gravity from molecular weight
specific gravity from molecular weight
(OP)
I am trying to calculated power requirements from the below data.
However , I am not able to enter data specific gravity below 0.5
The gas molecular weight given to me is 11kg/kmol.
What is the specific gravity ?

RE: specific gravity from molecular weight
You have 11 g/mole
Your specific gravity relative to air is 11/28.9656 =
Seems like Solar compressors are not designed for such a light gas.

Why not work it out manually then ? Use an isentropic eff of say 70-75% for high throughput streams. If you have a P-h diagram for this gas ( what is it btw?), results will be more accurate.

Of course when working with crude oils, you could opt for using API gravity, where
SG_api = (141.5 / SG_w) -131.5
So SG_api of water = 10
And when working with gases, always specify what your reference temperature and pressure are. That's the part that does not have a true international standard. Some use 59°F, or 15°C, others 0°C
