Information

Generally, two kinds of calculation approaches can be identified: A polynomial and a power approach. A generic polynomial approach is presented below:

ηise = corFact * sum(a[i]*P[i]^b[i] for i in 1:nT)

A generic power approach is presented below:

ηise = corFact * a * product(P[i]^b[i] for i in 1:nT)

All isentropic efficiency models presented in this library are based on a literature review. Therefore, the variable corFact allows a correction of the isentropic efficiency if the general modelling approach presented in the litarature differs from ηise = (houtIse - hinl) / (hout - hinl).

Common model variables

Calculation procedures presented in the litarture have some variables in commen and these variables are presented below:

"Inputs and outputs" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse:collapse;">
Type Name Comment
input epsRef Ratio of the real and the ideal displacement volume
input VDis Displacement volume
input piPre Pressure ratio
input rotSpe Rotational speed
input staInl Thermodynamic state at compressor's inlet conditions
input staOut Thermodynamic state at compressor's out conditions
input TAmb Ambient temperature

Polynomial isentropic efficiency models

Actually, three polynomial approaches are implemented in this package. To add further calculation procedures, just add its name in AixLib.Fluid.Movers.Compressors.Utilities.Types and expand the if-structure defined in AixLib.Fluid.Movers.Compressors.Utilities.IsentropicEfficiency.PolynomialIsentropicEfficiency.

Power isentropic efficiency models

Actually, one power approache is implemented in this package. To add further calculation procedures, just add its name in AixLib.Fluid.Movers.Compressors.Utilities.Types and expand the if-structure defined in AixLib.Fluid.Movers.Compressors.Utilities.IsentropicEfficiency.PowerIsentropicEfficiency.
