Centrifugal Compressor Work Calculator

Calculate compressor specific work W = c_p T_1 [(P_2/P_1)^((γ−1)/γ) − 1] / η_c. Relate pressure ratio to tip speed: P_2/P_1 = [1 + η_c U²/(c_p T_1)]^(γ/(γ−1)).

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How to Use

Enter the values for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate compressor specific work W = c_p T_1 [(P_2/P_1)^((γ−1)/γ) − 1] / η_c. Relate pressure ratio to tip speed: P_2/P_1 = [1 + η_c U²/(c_p T_1)]^(γ/(γ−1)). Use the centrifugal compressor result to inform your clinical assessment.
