Work done during the adiabatic process of the compressor

2016-07-18View Original

Thread Content

In Chapter 20 of the Chemical Process Design Handbook, Compressors, on page 964, in the formula for calculating the power required for adiabatic compression, N=1.634*P1*V1*k/(k-1)*..., I’m wondering how the value of k/(k-1) is derived. My own calculations yield only 1/(k-1). I hope someone can help me understand this. It would be best to have a detailed derivation process. Thank you.
