Description
Summary:Centrifugal compressors are vital equipment in many chemical process industries (CPI) applications, including oil refining, chemical and petrochemical manufacturing, and natural gas processing. As such, it is important for chemical engineers to understand the basics of centrifugal compressors and their operation, which was the topic of a previous CEP article (1), as well as how to evaluate the performance of this critical equipment.
