hi
I am a chemical engineering student currently working on compressors for my project. I have been struck in calculating power requirement for an air compressor performing under a polytropic process. I wonder if someone can guide me with the relevant equation or spreadsheets that can help me calculate the power, bhp per stage for the compressor. i have the following data variables

suction pressure
discharge pressure
inlet temperature
discharge temperature
dry and wet flow rate of air
humidity
efficiency
k
polytorpic coefficient

please guide me as to how should i proceed

regards
amit
