Screw Compressors: Mathematical Modelling and Performance Calculation
Once the geometric and thermodynamic models are solved (typically via numerical integration like Runge-Kutta), performance indicators are calculated. Leakage Paths: 5
Theoretical mass flow (no leakage): Q_th = V_d × n (m^3/s at suction conditions) m_dot_th = Q_th × ρ_suction = Q_th × p1/(R T1) Leakage Paths: 5
