Information

Model ExpanderOpenDriveDetailed represents the expanson of fluid in a volumetric machine. The evolution of the fluid through the expander is decomposed into six thermodynamic processes, as shown in the figure:

• Supply pressure drop (su --> su,1)
• Supply cooling-down (su,1 --> su,2)
• Isentropic expansion to the internal pressure imposed by the built-in volume ratio of the expander (su,2 --> in)
• Expansion at a fixed volume to the exhaust pressure (in --> ex,2)
• Mixing between suction flow and leakage flow (ex,2 --> ex,1)
• Exhaust cooling-down or heating-up (ex,1 --> ex)
