A bunch compressor design for the Next Linear Collider (NLC) is described. The compressor reduces the bunch length by a factor of 40 in two stages. The first stage at 2 GeV consists of an rf section and a wiggler. The second stage at 10 GeV is formed by an arc, an rf section, and a chicane. The final bunch phase is insensitive to initial phase errors and to beam loading in the intermediate Sban...

In this paper, we develop linear fixed-order (i.e., fulland reduced order) pressure rise feedback dynamic compensators for axial flow compressors with throttle valve actuation. Unlike the nonlinear static controllers proposed in the literature possessing gain at all frequencies, the proposed dynamic compensators explicitly account for compressor performance versus sensor accuracy, compressor pe...

Most compression algorithms used in storage systems today are based on an increasingly outmoded sequential processing model. Systems wishing to decompress blocks out-of-order or in parallel must reset the compressor’s state before each block, reducing adaptiveness and limiting compression ratios. To remedy this situation, we present Non-Linear Compression, a novel compression model enabling sys...

The Rotating-Stall (RS) through a rotor-cascade of an axial compressor were numerically investigated with an unsteady two-dimensional finite-volume density based computer code. To validate the computer code, a test case was prepared and the good agreement of the compared results has given the adequate assurance of the code. The RS was incepted with a 40% reduction in flow coefficient and a 0.4%...

A non-linear gas dynamic model is used in this paper to study the pressure pulsations in the intake of a variable speed compressor, since the perturbation pressure in this study is so large that the linear acoustic theory is no longer valid. Friction and heat transfer are considered in the model. Three numerical schemes are applied to solve the governing equations which are non-linear hyperboli...

This study adopts the centrifugal compressor system which produces the nitric acid equipment in China Petrochemical Development Corporation’s Plant. The system is non-linear and its manufacturing process is changeable, which the traditional PID (Proportional-Integral-Differential) control method is difficult to apply. This study is intended to apply the artificial neural network method to test ...

A refrigerator consumes 20~40% of the total electric energy in a house. And most of the electricity in the refrigerator is consumed for operating the compressor. Therefore, developing a high efficiency compressor is necessary to increase the energy efficiency. To increase the efficiency of the linear motor, a new linear motor design with a reduced electrical loss is needed. Also, the loss analy...
