Compressor work Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Compressor Work = Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor-Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet
W_c = h₂-h₁
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Compressor Work - (Measured in Joule) - Compressor Work is the work done by the compressor on the fluid.
Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor - (Measured in Joule) - Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor is the heat energy of the flow after compression.
Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet - (Measured in Joule) - Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet is the heat energy of flow at the entry of compressor.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor: 548.5 Kilojoule --> 548500 Joule (Check conversion here)
Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet: 387.6 Kilojoule --> 387600 Joule (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_c = h₂-h₁ --> 548500-387600

Evaluating ... ...

W_c = 160900

How does compressor work?

Compressors work by forcing air into a container and pressurizing it. Then, the air is forced through an opening in the tank, where pressure builds up.

How to Calculate Compressor work?

Compressor work calculator uses Compressor Work = Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor-Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet to calculate the Compressor Work, Compressor Work refers to the energy required to compress a gas within a compressor. This formula calculates the compressor work by determining the difference between the enthalpy at the exit and the enthalpy at the inlet of the compressor. Compressor Work is denoted by W_c symbol.

How to calculate Compressor work using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Compressor work, enter Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor (h₂) & Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet (h₁) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Compressor work calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.1609 = 548500-387600.

FAQ

What is Compressor work?

Compressor Work refers to the energy required to compress a gas within a compressor. This formula calculates the compressor work by determining the difference between the enthalpy at the exit and the enthalpy at the inlet of the compressor and is represented as W_c = h₂-h₁ or Compressor Work = Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor-Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet. Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor is the heat energy of the flow after compression & Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet is the heat energy of flow at the entry of compressor.

How to calculate Compressor work?

Compressor Work refers to the energy required to compress a gas within a compressor. This formula calculates the compressor work by determining the difference between the enthalpy at the exit and the enthalpy at the inlet of the compressor is calculated using Compressor Work = Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor-Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet. To calculate Compressor work, you need Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor (h₂) & Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet (h₁). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor & Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Compressor Work?

In this formula, Compressor Work uses Enthalpy at Exit of Compressor & Enthalpy at Compressor Inlet. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Compressor Work = (1/Mechanical Efficiency)*Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*(Temperature at Compressor Exit-Temperature at Compressor Inlet)
Compressor Work = Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*(Temperature at Compressor Exit-Temperature at Compressor Inlet)
