Use CFD in Air Compressor | Benefits & Applications

AI Thread Summary
CFD can be applied in various areas of air compressor design, particularly where precise flow analysis is crucial, such as in the compressor scroll or diffuser. The practicality of using CFD depends on the specific type of air compressor, including axial, centrifugal, integrally geared, screw, and reciprocating models. Understanding the flow characteristics of air, oil, and coolant is essential for optimizing performance. The discussion emphasizes the importance of targeted CFD applications to enhance compressor efficiency. Overall, CFD is a valuable tool for improving the design and functionality of air compressors.

Where can i use CFD in Air comressor?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Pretty much anywhere the air flows...or oil flows...or coolant flows...

You would be better off to ask "where is it practical to use CFD in compressor design?" In that case I would say dealing with any part of the compressor scroll or diffuser or any place where the precise flow description is required for proper performance analysis.
 
What type of air compressor? Axial, centrifugal, integrally geared, screw, reciprocating, single or multi-stage?
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
