To understand I am building a methane digester system, and am going to store the gas at 24.13Bar (350psi) in 3 * 100 pound lp tanks 0.2M^3 (7.05cubic feet)
My feed stock will be at .69Bar (10 psi) ruffely and cool at say 10c (50F), so far my calculations tell me I'll have a 10.7 compression ratio and temp lift will be near 204C (400F) does this sound right to you all>

Methane at just under 1bar (10psi) raised in pressure to over 24 bar (350psi)
is a pump ratio of 24? And as for the temperature lift, it is completely off
my chart at 204degC.
The chart I was using would not let me calculate the Isentropic efficiency and your
numbers seem to be more Adiabatic and that is impossible???
I found this http://petrowiki.org/Compressors

I am pumping a 10c degree gas stream at 24.7psia to 264.7psia
so I could well be wrong as I am pretty rusty at the perfect gas law
I had no charts so was doing it via the perfect gas laws on paper all my info won't let me go about the -98c mark!
I agree, that was my struggle also (looks like I was using a similar chart).Quote:

I'f I'm honest I struggle with perfect gas laws, so I might
not be the best to help, hopefully others will have a better
scientific mind and will be able to help.
