Thermodynamic modelling of the operation of an open refrigerating compressor

Abstract

Thermodynamic modelling is a crucial factor in the simulation of the dynamic operation of the reciprocating piston compressors. Their study requires the analytical knowledge of the properties of the refrigerant from the energy and thermodynamics points of view as well as that of the mechanics of fluids. The simple model suggested allows, on the one hand predicting the performances of the compressor and on the other hand, to determine the variables of states of the evolving fluid
