REPORT: Mathematical Modelling and Performance Calculation of Screw Compressors

Engineers use coordinate transformation and the theory of gearing to define the rotor shapes. The goal is to maximize the blow-hole area

If ( \fracp_dp_u > \left(\frac2\kappa+1\right)^\frac\kappa\kappa-1 ) (subsonic): Element work ΔW_i = ∫ V i−1^V_i p

4. Performance Calculation – From Math to Metrics Once the differential equations are solved (via numerical methods like Runge-Kutta), we extract:

Let’s break down the core logic behind screw compressor modelling. 🧵👇 Blow-hole Area: A small, triangular leak path formed

• Element work ΔW_i = ∫Vi−1^V_i p dV (numerical integration).
• Total compression work W = ∑ ΔW_i.

Blow-hole Area: A small, triangular leak path formed by the housing cusp and rotor tips. Calculating this area precisely is critical for leakage modeling.

Performance is typically calculated by solving the conservation laws for an open system (the compression chamber).  Conservation of Energy:   : Internal energy. : Enthalpy of inlet/outlet gas. : Heat transfer rate between gas, rotors, and casing. : Work done by the piston-like action of the rotors.  Mass Conservation (Continuity):   : Instantaneous mass in the chamber. Blow-hole Area: A small
