Selection Process
Inputs required for centrifugal compressor selection
Typically Know: Ts inlet Ps inlet Pd outlet Flow (Q) Gas composition Driver type (Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine, Motor)
Selection Process
Selection Process Aerodynamic Selection and Optimization Impeller Requirements (including Stress) Mechanical Design Coupling size Bearing and Seal sizes Rotordynamic Design Could reselect coupling, bearings, seals

Critical speed: Is a natural frequency with an active enough response that the natural frequency should be designed around.
Stability: The stability of a system is defined as the reaction to any external perturbation.
