General Description
The gas pump model will add pressure boost to the stream or operates at a specified pressure.
Diagram
The diagram shows the default drawing of the Gas Pump, with the required connecting streams. The unit will not operate unless all of the above streams are connected.
The physical location of the connections is not important, the user may connect the streams to any position on the drawing.

Model Theory
From the first law of thermodynamics, the energy balance is:
[math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{\mathit{Work=Enthalpy_{in}-Enthalpy_{out}}} }[/math]
From the second law of thermodynamics:
[math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{\mathit{Entropy_{in} = Entropy_{out}}} }[/math]
Calculating Work:
Step 1) Enthalpy and Entropy in is calculated from the inlet stream Temperature and Pressure.
Step 2) Outlet Temperature and Enthalpy is calculated based on the Entropy and outlet pressure.
Step 3) Work is calculated from the difference in enthalpy.
Assumptions
- The process is in steady state and steady flow.
- The process is adiabatic.
- The change in Potential and Kinetics energy is ignored.
- Process is reversible and adiabatic
Data Sections
The default access window consists of four sections,
- CompGP_1 tab - Contains general information relating to the unit.
- Optional tab Vapour Liquid Equilibrium (VLE)
- The section, Info, fully described in Info Tab Page Section.
- The section, Links, only visible in SysCAD 9.2, contains a summary table for all the input and output streams. See Links Table.
- The last section is the Audit. See Model Examples for enthalpy calculation Examples.
