Computer Program Development To Analyse Centrifugal Compressor Performance

A centrifugal compressor, which is driven by a gas turbine, is one of the critical equipment used in oil and gas industry especially in the offshore platform (upstream operation) and need a regular performance monitoring. The compressor is used in a variety of applications including gas lift, gas...
