Compressors Lecture 1 power consumption and types of compressor John Christy


No change in u or h with pressure Pv =RT from experiment u So h = 0 and =0

Noting

h = u + Pv

and gas is ideal,

h = u + RT

dh du Differentiating dT = dT + R

So c p = c v + R , since h and u are functions of T alone

Ratio of specific heats


Ratio of specific heats is

cp cv

Isothermal compression or expansion


For open systems h = q + ws If system is isothermal, h = 0, and
q = ws = vdP

For monatomic gases value is 1.67 For diatomic gases value is 1.4 For most other gases, value is 1.3

Thus ws = and

Adiabatic compression
Here q = 0, so


Adiabatic compression
Taking Substituting


h = ws


R c p cv 1 = = cp cp
dT 1 dP = T P
  

Expanding


c p dT = vdP


Ideal gas


c p dT =

RT dP P


Integrating

Rearranging But

dT R = T cp

dP P

Removing logs
R c p cv 1 = = cp cp

c p = cv + R

so

Adiabatic compression
Noting that we are dealing with an ideal gas, the temperature can be expressed in terms of pressure and volume, so

Comparison with liquid pumps


Viscosity of gases much less than of liquids
Clearances between moving parts must be less Sealing shaft is more difficult

Use guide vanes to direct flow onto and off impellers Since specific volumes are high (low density), the shaft work is high ws = vdP Higher rotor speeds used Allow for drainage of condensate

Comparison with liquid pumps


High shaft work leads to heating of gases Temperature rises limits pressure rise Need for interstage cooling Thermal conductivity of gases low heat exchange equipment large Compressibility leads to volume reduction with pressure may need to reduce size of subsequent stages Clearance volume inefficiency
