The cost of a high-quality 250-horsepower com­pressor was $14,000 when recently purchased. What would a 600-horsepower compressor be ex­pected to cost?

What will be an ideal response?


From Table 15-6, cost-capacity exponent for compressors is 0.32

C2 = 14,000(600/250)^0.32
= 14,000(1.323)
= $18,527
