Analysis of the Influence of Efficiency of Cooling of Gas in the Course of its Compression in a Volumetric Action Compressor

Resumo

The influence of the ratio of the gain in technical work for gas compression to the amount of heat removed is analyzed for a constant and a variable mass of compressed gas. The analysis was carried out in the polytropic approximation and on the basis of a mathematical model with lumped parameters, and led to the identification of the areas of effective cooling of gas in the course of compression.
