This report accounts for making the heat transfer model in co-rotating scroll compressor. This mathematical model was proposed according to the working principle of the compressor, its geometry and basic thermodynamics’ laws. Previous papers and reports, r ...
The research scope of GTT includes efforts to increase reliability, efficiency and power output of gas turbines and aero engines. The most important areas of research are the following: fluid-structure interaction at forced response and flutter for turbine ...
A new finned reciprocating air compressor model is developed recently for compressed air energy storage. First the mechanism of operation of the new compressor is described. The complexity of the design encouraged us to develop the model based on the bond ...
The report describes the implementation of a radial micro-compressor in the dynamic modeling software PSE gProms, the development and the implementation of a two-phase flow pipe model, and the preliminary design of a two-phase flow dynamic heat exchanger ...
Multistage heat pumps are one of the most efficient technologies for delivering heat at temperatures below 100°C, Thanks to their fairly high exergy efficiency. In the recent years the development of radial compressors mounted on gas bearings have unlock t ...
This article introduces the energetic macroscopic representation (EMR) as approach for the dynamic nonlinear modeling of a reciprocating air compressor. EMR has been introduced recently for research development in complex electromechanical systems. It is b ...
Isothermal compression/expansion is regarded as the most promising process in many applications and many researchers and inventors have tried different methods to achieve this goal. The current article first studies the gradual roadmap from adiabatic towar ...
The concept studied in this work is a low power ORC-ORC heat pump system (providing about 20 kW heat at the condenser) and that is composed of an ORC power cycle driving a reversed ORC heat pump cycle, both cycles using the same fluid. The centrifugal comp ...
Throughout the years LENI-EPFL spent a significant part of its research activities on heat pumps be it for industrial heat recovery or for domestic or district heating and cooling. Methodological contributions include the improvement of the formulation of ...
Progress in materials and manufacturing techniques allows an increase of the mean turbine inlet temperature, resulting in improved efficiency and specific power of the turbine. Because of the combustor characteristics, thermal and aerodynamic nonuniformiti ...
