Multi-Stage Compressor simulation

1 inlet -> 1 outlet (N staged compressions with interstage cooling)

Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a multi-stage compressor — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

$r$

per-stage pressure ratio

$n$

number of stages

$k$

stage index

$T$

temperature [K]

$P$

pressure [Pa]

$S$

molar entropy [J/mol/K]

$T_{\text{intercool}}$

intercooler target outlet temperature [K]

Parameters

outlet_pressure [Pa, > inlet]; n_stages [int, default 1]; efficiency [default 0.75]; intercool_temperature [K, default = inlet temperature]
