The Polytropic Analysis of Centrifugal Compressors
John M. Schultz, Trans. Of the ASME, ASME J. of Engineering for Power, Jan 1962 pp 69-82
The real-gas equations of polytropic analysis are derived in terms of compressibility functions X and Y which
supplement the familiar compressibility factor, Z. A polytropic head factor, f, is introduced to adjust test results
for deviations from perfect-gas behavior. Functions X and Y are generalized and plotted for gases in
corresponding states.
The thermodynamic design and test evaluation of centrifugal compressors is frequently based upon a
polytropic analysis employing perfect-gas relations. In many instances real-gas relations would be more
accurate, but these are virtually unknown. The purpose of this paper is to derive the real-gas equations of
polytropic analysis and to show their application to centrifugal compressor testing and design.
