Yes, I am doing exactly the same. Following the steps from GPSA and thermodynamics textbook.
But i am not able to match my figures of compressor power. I am getting 36 kW versus 160 kW. Please see attached. Surely i am doing some error !!
Any help is much appreciated...
Thanks Chicopee for the response.
I do have thermodynamic properties of propane (Enthalpy, Sp Heat, Entropy etc) but i am looking for refrigeration formulas or calculation procedure for mass flow rate / refrigeration capacity and consequently compressor HP and condenser duty. May be in a excel...
Hello All,
I am working on developing a process to estimate the key refrigerant system performance data (refrigerant compressor shaft work, refrigerant condenser duty) for single stage propane refrigeration system. We are currently applying the Gas Processor Suppliers Association (GPSA)...
