Software para seleção de compressor e dimensionamento de tubulações de ar comprimido utilizando python3

Abstract

The present work addresses the development of software to assist in compressor selection and the sizing of compressed air pipelines, using the Python3 programming language. The proposal is justified by energy waste and the costs associated with the acquisition and use of equipment. The software was designed to perform selection and sizing calculations considering variables such as pressure, flow rate, and system specifications. It includes a graphical interface built with the Tkinter library to facilitate its use. The methodology is based on a bibliographic review of compressors, system components, and sizing techniques, explaining the logic behind the software and the functionality of the tabs for data entry and results display. These results were validated through comparison with three other studies, showing significant similarity with the values found by the authors. It is concluded that the software contributes to more efficient equipment selection and, with future updates, may become a valuable tool for professionals in the field to design more efficient compressed air systems.
