Tris paper, through analy3is to the specific power of the compressor, indicates that to reduce the power loss caused by friction is an important way to reduce the specific power of the compressor, investigates the realizability employing a single piston ring or a piston ring with small elasticity in the high speed double acting compressor, and raises a standpoint for a high speed double acting ...

T he increase of the thrust-to-weight ratio of modern gas-turbine engines results in higher loads and a reduced number of blades and stages for the compressor. The designer must ensure the acceptable performance of each compressor stage (efficiency and stable operating range) and control the rising risk of blade boundary layer separation. This can be obtained using passive or active control dev...

Studies at the University of Southern California have shown that an unconventional solid-state device, the Knudsen Compressor, can be operated as a micro-scale pump or compressor. The critical components of Knudsen Compressors are gas transport membranes, which can be formed from porous materials or densely packed parallel arrays of channels. An applied temperature gradient across a transport m...

This paper proposes a method of evaluating the performance of reciprocating compressors. An analytical formula of the volumetric efficiency is presented. This formula, based on both theoretical and empirical approach, takes account of the most important factors, which occur during the working process of the compressor and affect the refrigeration performance. An accurate determination of the cl...

The sound radiation characteristics of a semi-hermetic twin-screw compressor were studied while operating under controlled laboratory conditions at the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories of Purdue University. A fully-condensing load stand was designed to allow the 70 ton chiller system to be operated at the three standard loading capacities of the compressor. The load stand was operator controlled and...

Degradation of compressors is a common concern for operators gas turbine engines (GTEs). Surface roughness, due to erosion or fouling, considered one the major factors degradation phenomenon in that can negatively affect designed pressure rise, efficiency, and, therefore, engine aero/thermodynamic performance. The understanding aerodynamic implications varying blade surface roughness plays sign...

background: the incomplete burning of fuel in engine of vehicles, evaporation of petrol from gas stations, and also car carburetor cause unburned hydrocarbons to be emitted in ambient air of cities and gas station locations. from unburned hydrocarbons; monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon influence to citizen's health and benzene is known as carcinogenic compounds. the objectives of this study are t...

The development and upgrade of test installations, instrumentation and the data acquisition system of an existing turbofan engine test rig are described for an experimental program which was planned and initiated to investigate the transient unsteady operation of gas turbine engines with an emphasis on compressor operation. The objective of the program was to examine aerodynamic instabilities s...

Iran’s environmental condition is critical, since it is experiencing desertification, unsustainable development and overpopulation. The objective of this study is power source replacement in natural gas stations that operate with natural gas compressors, through using electrical motors, which can be fed by a 160 MW geothermal power plant, as an alternative to gas turbines. Application of such a...

Based on the analysis of principle and structure of the gas booster, this paper studied on its charging process from low-pressure gas bottle to high-pressure one, considered the effect of some facts, including the changing of inlet and outlet pressure, clearance space, friction, according to the principle of kinematics, gas dynamics and thermodynamics ,established the mathematical and dynamics ...
