Screw Compressors : Three Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics and Solid Fluid Interaction
This book - the authors' second book on screw compressors – presents the results of the most up to date methods of three-dimensional modeling of the fluid dymanics and the solid-fluid interaction within these machines, which are still being developed. By including them in the design process, it is possible, not only to predict flow patterns more accurately, and hence improve the design of the critical components, but also to determine how the pressure and temperature distribution within the compressor distorts the rotors and casing and how this, in turn, has an interactive effect on the performance.
Screw Compressors : Mathematical Modelling and Performance Calculation
The first part of "Screw Compressors" gives a review of recent developments in screw compressor design.The second part presents a generalized mathematical definition of screw machine rotors and describes some well known lobe shapes in detail.The third part treats the mathematical modelling of the thermodynamics and fluid mechanics of compression and expansion processes.The fourth and fifth parts discuss the principles used and describe the application of the analytical procedures and rotor profiling techniques, presented in the earlier chapters, to the design of a number of twin screw compressors, currently manufactured including the examples of combining expansion and compression in the same machine.
