Computer simulation of the steady-state thermodynamic processes and piston ring wear for a multi-stage intercooled reciprocating air compressor
The objectives of this research are the prediction of the thermodynamic behavior of a multi-stage intercooled reciprocating compressor and its progressive loss of performance due to leakage. A theoretical model is developed to simulate the thermodynamics of the compressor system and the lubricating...
