r'''Calculates the work of compression or expansion of a gas going through an isothermal process.
.. math:: W = zRT\ln\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right)
Parameters ---------- P1 : float Inlet pressure, [Pa] P2 : float Outlet pressure, [Pa] T : float Temperature of the gas going through an isothermal process, [K] Z : float Constant compressibility factor of the gas, [-]
Returns ------- W : float Work performed per mole of gas compressed/expanded [J/mol]
Notes ----- The full derivation with all forms is as follows:
.. math:: W = \int_{P_1}^{P_2} V dP = zRT\int_{P_1}^{P_2} \frac{1}{P} dP
W = zRT\ln\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right) = P_1 V_1 \ln\left(\frac{P_2} {P_1}\right) = P_2 V_2 \ln\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right)
The substitutions are according to the ideal gas law with compressibility:
.. math: PV = ZRT
The work of compression/expansion is the change in enthalpy of the gas. Returns negative values for expansion and positive values for compression.
An average compressibility factor can be used where Z changes. For further accuracy, this expression can be used repeatedly with small changes in pressure and the work from each step summed.

r'''Calculation function for dealing with compressing or expanding a gas going through an isentropic, adiabatic process assuming constant Cp and Cv. The polytropic model is the same equation; just provide `n` instead of `k` and use a polytropic efficienty for `eta` instead of a isentropic efficiency. Can calculate any of the following, given all the other inputs:
* W, Work of compression * P2, Pressure after compression * P1, Pressure before compression * eta, isentropic efficiency of compression
.. math:: W = \left(\frac{k}{k-1}\right)ZRT_1\left[\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1} \right)^{(k-1)/k}-1\right]/\eta_{isentropic}
Parameters ---------- T1 : float Initial temperature of the gas, [K] k : float Isentropic exponent of the gas (Cp/Cv) or polytropic exponent `n` to use this as a polytropic model instead [-] Z : float, optional Constant compressibility factor of the gas, [-] P1 : float, optional Inlet pressure, [Pa] P2 : float, optional Outlet pressure, [Pa] W : float, optional Work performed per mole of gas compressed/expanded [J/mol] eta : float, optional Isentropic efficiency of the process or polytropic efficiency of the process to use this as a polytropic model instead [-]
Returns ------- W, P1, P2, or eta : float The missing input which was solved for [base SI]
Notes ----- For the same compression ratio, this is always of larger magnitude than the isothermal case.
The full derivation is as follows:
For constant-heat capacity "isentropic" fluid,
.. math:: V = \frac{P_1^{1/k}V_1}{P^{1/k}}
W = \int_{P_1}^{P_2} V dP = \int_{P_1}^{P_2}\frac{P_1^{1/k}V_1} {P^{1/k}}dP
W = \frac{P_1^{1/k} V_1}{1 - \frac{1}{k}}\left[P_2^{1-1/k} - P_1^{1-1/k}\right]
After performing the integration and substantial mathematical manipulation we can obtain:
.. math:: W = \left(\frac{k}{k-1}\right) P_1 V_1 \left[\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1} \right)^{(k-1)/k}-1\right]
Using PV = ZRT:
.. math:: W = \left(\frac{k}{k-1}\right)ZRT_1\left[\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1} \right)^{(k-1)/k}-1\right]
The work of compression/expansion is the change in enthalpy of the gas. Returns negative values for expansion and positive values for compression.
An average compressibility factor should be used as Z changes. For further accuracy, this expression can be used repeatedly with small changes in pressure and new values of isentropic exponent, and the work from each step summed.
For the polytropic case this is not necessary, as `eta` corrects for the simplification.

This model is also presented in [2]_ with a leading constant of 5.69E-2, the same exponents as used here, units of mm (diameter), kPa, km (length), and flow in m^3/hour. However, it is believed to contain a typo, and gives results <1/3 of the correct values. It is also present in [2]_ in imperial form; this is believed correct, but makes a slight assumption not done in [1]_.
This model is present in [3]_ without reference corrections. The 1210 constant in [1]_ is an approximation necessary for the reference correction to function without a square of the pressure difference. The GPSA version is as follows, and matches this formulation very closely:

The model is also shown in [4]_, with diameter in inches, length in feet, flow in MMSCFD, pressure drop in inH2O, and a rounded leading constant of 0.09; this makes its predictions several percent higher than the model here.
