Conceptual design of scroll expander and scroll compressor for 10 kW-class Stirling engine utilizing solar energy as heat source has been carried out. CO2 was chosen as the working fluid, since it is nontoxic, inflammable and it has relatively higher density among probably usable gases. Gas temperature at the expander inlet was set at 700 C, and that at the compressor inlet was at 40°C. System ...

Mitsuhiro Nishida Chief Engineer Fukuoka Works Mitsubishi Electric Fukuoka, JAPAN Scroll co1pressors are beco•ins popular in air conditionior and refrigeration. This is priurily due to their higher efficiency and Jo, noise/vibration characteristics. The scroll principle can be appi ied also to the stea• expander and the Brayton cycle engine, as shown in the past literature. The Otto cycle spark...

The paper presents a simplified mathematical model for a scroll-type air motor. Through air power/energy analysis, it has shown that a scroll-type air motor with a properly specified structure and suitable pressure of compressed air supply is able to achieve high energy efficiency and satisfies air power requirement. The features of a scroll-type air motor in geometry, mechanical structure, and...

This Letter initiates a hysteresis series switching approach for generating multi-directional multi-scroll chaotic attractors from a threedimensional linear autonomous fractional differential system, including 1-D n-scroll, 2-D (n×m)-grid scroll, and 3-D (n×m× l)-grid scroll chaotic attractors. The underlying dynamical mechanisms of a fractional differential hysteresis system are then further i...

Experimental and computational studies of the formation and evolution of scroll waves in three-dimensional excitable media are presented. Scroll waves are initiated in the photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction by perturbing traveling waves transverse to their direction of propagation. Scroll rings are generated by perturbing circular waves, which expand or contract depending on the stren...

Cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), are among the leading causes of death in the industrialized world. These are associated with the formation of spiral and scroll waves of electrical activation in cardiac tissue; single spiral and scroll waves are believed to be associated with VT whereas their turbulent analogs are associated with VF. T...

This paper discusses the design of active controllers for generalized projective synchronization (GPS) of identical Wang 3-scroll chaotic systems (Wang, 2009), identical Dadras 3-scroll chaotic systems (Dadras and Momeni, 2009) and non-identical Wang 3-scroll system and Dadras 3-scroll system. The synchronization results (GPS) derived in this paper for the 3-scroll chaotic systems have been der...

The machining precision in the scroll compressor with the compliant crank mechanism is not required so high as that with the fixed throw crank, but the sealing performance is better than the later's, therefore the scroll compressor with the compliant crank mechanism operates at higher efficiency. In this study, the characters of the compliant crank mechanism are discussed, while the Oldham coup...
