    Compressor Efficiency

    Uploaded by

    Faiq Ahmad
    This document discusses three types of efficiency used to relate actual and ideal work for compressors: 1. Stage efficiency (ηst) is the ratio of ideal to adiabatic work for a single stage. 2. Adiabatic efficiency (ηc) is the ratio of ideal to adiabatic work for the whole compressor. It may differ from stage efficiency. 3. Polytropic efficiency (ηpc) is defined as the ratio of ideal to adiabatic work for an infinitesimal step in compression. Equations are provided relating these different efficiencies.

    COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY

    Three kinds of efficiency are used in relating actual


    and ideal adiabatic work for compressors
    1. The stage efficiency ηst is the ratio of ideal to
    adiabatic work for a single stage.
    2. The adiabatic efficiency of Compressor ηc is
    the ratio of ideal to adiabatic work for the whole
    compressor. It may differ significantly from stage
    efficiency.
    3. The polytropic compressor efficiency ηpc is
    defined as the ratio of ideal to adiabatic work for
    an infinitesimal step in the compression process.
    COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
    The figure opposite define
    the polytropic efficiency
    as
    ηpc =dT0s/ dT0 (1)
    For the isentropic process,
    dT0s=T0{(p0+dp0/p0)γ-1/γ - 1}
    Using the binomial expansion
    for dp0/p0 <<1 results in
    (1+ dp0/p0 )γ-1/γ= 1+ γ-1/γ dp0/p0
    Thus equ(1) can be written as
    ηpcdT0 /T0= (γ-1/γ )dp0/p0 (2)
    COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
    For a compressor process
    between any pair of
    stagnation states 01 and
    02 (and if ηpc and γ are
    constant, equation (2) can
    be integrated as
    T02/ T01= (p02/p01 )(γ-1/γηpc (3)
    For constant specific heats the
    adiabatic compressor
    efficiency is given by
    ηc = h02s-h01/ h02-h01
    COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
    which is as
    ηc= h02s-h01/ h02-h01=[ (T02s/ T01 )-1/(T02/
    T01 )-1]
    = [(p02/p01 )(γ-1/γ – 1]/ (T02/ T01 )-1 (4)
    Combination of 3 and 4 shows the
    relation between ηc and ηpc as:
    ηc={(p02/p01)(γ-1/γ-1}/{(p02/p01)(γ-1/γηpc- 1 }
    In multistage compressor polytropic
    efficiency and stage efficiency are
    almost equal.
    Figure opposite shows compressor
    overall efficiency versus pressure
    ratio at various values of stage
    efficiency.
    COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
    Stage Efficiency : Since
    stage consists of rotor and
    stator the T-s diagram for
    the same is shown in the
    opposite figure.
    HYDRAULIC EFFICIENCIES OF PUMP
    AND TURBINE
    The hydraulic efficiency of a pump is defined as
    ηp= g(H2- H1)/∆Wp
    Similarly The hydraulic efficiency of turbine is
    defined as
    ηh = ∆Wx/g(H1- H2 )
