Gas power requirements

After the gas horsepower is calculated by either the polytropic or adiabatic compression method, horsepower losses due to friction in bearings, seal, and speed increasing gears should be added. Although, there is no accurate method in estimating mechanical losses from gas power requirements. Table 6-1 gives approximate mechanical losses as a percentage of the gas power requirement [5].
