Creation methodology for calculating methane low-flow low-speed compressor stages based on data processing of experimental study

Abstract

This article presents the results of a set of works carried out to adapt the existing mathematical model for calculating the working processes of low-speed compressor stages for methane compression and to create an engineering methodology for calculating the performance of the stage based on the experimental data obtained.
