Compressor

Raise the pressure of a gas stream.

Inputs

  • Efficiency (%): Isentropic efficiency in percent (must be between 0 and 100).
  • Outlet Pressure: Pressure of the outlet stream. Must be higher than inlet stream.

Outputs

  • Work output: This is negative as a compressor consumes work. This equals the reverersible work divided by the efficiency.

Warnings

  • Liquid in compressor: If a liquid-phase or two-phase state is detected.
  • Wrong sign: If the specified outlet pressure of the compressor is lower than the computed inlet pressure.
