Compressor Settleout Pressure Temperature Estimation

This document provides a rigorous method for calculating the settle-out pressure and temperature of a compressor system. It details the calculations of compressibility factor, specific heat, moles, mass, and energy for each section of the compressor loop. The settle-out pressure is calculated to be 28.89 barg based on a total volume of 35.7 m3 and the settle-out temperature is 66.4 °C accounting for temperatures, pressures, molecular weights and specific heats across the system.
