Multi-Control-Volume Analysis of the Compression Process in a High-Temperature Root's Type Compressor

In this study we have modeled a high-temperature Root's type compressor and compared predicted results with measurements. Compression process is modeled using multiple control volumes. Initially, there are two control volumes connected by an “expansion nozzle” naturally formed by the rotor tip...
