the aim of this study is designing the impeller of a centrifugal compressor in order to supply pressure ratio for a 65 kw micro gas turbine. first, the primary thermodynamic analysis has been conducted for the considered cycle using a home made code. herein, the compressor pressure ratio was considered to be 4. the obtained thermal efficiency was 25.64%. then, the design of micro compressor in ...

Since conventional crank-driven compressor had many difficulties to increase efficiency due to mechanical loss, new kind of compressor has been paid much of attention by the compressor manufacturers. The free piston compressor mechanism has been one of those kinds. The compressor manufacturers developed an energy efficient free piston linear resonance compressor for a household refrigerator. In...

R-502 has been the primary refrigerant for low temperature commercial refrigeration applications for many years. The impending phase-out of CFCs dictates its elimination in the very near future. The identification of alternative(s) for R-502 therefore becomes a high priority. This paper addresses the factors to be evaluated in selecting the best replacement and identifies an azeotropic mixture ...

In recent years, several research activities have been conducted to develop knowledge in analysis, design and optimization of compressor anti-surge control system. Since the anti-surge control testing on a full-scale compressor is limited to possible consequences of failure, and also the experimental facility can be expensive to set up control strategies and logic, design process often involves...

design models of multi- stage, axial flow compressor are developed for gas turbine engines. axial flow compressor is one of the most important parts of gas turbine units. therefore, its design and performance prediction are very important. one-dimensional modeling is a simple, fast and accurate method for performance prediction of any type of compressors with different geometries. in this appro...

Prediction of pressure pulsation magnitude and their harmonic components for a multistage reciprocating compressor, piping and reservoir system depends on the input design and operating parameters. In the present paper, the results of the theoretical study carried out to study the effect of such parameters on pressure pulsations and their harmonics have been presented. The effect of pipe diamet...

In a compressor the existence of the clearance volume is inevitable, even rolling piston compressor is a kind of compact structure compressor, overflow is a method to decrease the effect of clearance volume. In this paper, the overflow design on a rolling piston rotary compressor is discussed, which uses the high-pressure gas in the clearance volume, and discuss its effect on the performance of...
