Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Chemical Engineering
Compressor Power Calculator
Calculates the shaft power needed to compress a gas from a given inlet pressure to a target outlet pressure using isentropic or polytropic compression theory. Essential for sizing compressors in chemical and gas processing plants.

Chemical Engineering
Fenske Equation Calculator
Compute the minimum number of theoretical equilibrium stages required for a binary distillation separation using the Fenske equation. The "best case" stage count at total reflux — actual columns need more stages because they operate at finite reflux.
