Experimentally validated numerical analysis of the incompressible laminar isothermal flow
between concentric inclined disks has been performed. The flow is supplied axially by a …

An accurate prediction of the dry pressure drop is very important for consideration of valve
trays and for calculations in distillation field. Therefore, in this article, a series of hydraulic …

Major producers have already built compressors since World War I and have been
monopolizing all domestic and overseas markets based on the accumulated technology …

In refrigeration compressors, the suction and discharge valves are responsible for the
retention of the refrigerant from the suction chamber to the cylinder and passage from the …

The radial diffuser has been used as a basic geometry to study several mechanical devices
like thrust bearings, aerosol impactors, artificial heart valves, and refrigeration compressor …

The present work considers the modeling of turbulent flow in reed type valves of
reciprocating compressors and is based on a simplified geometry of the actual valve, that is …

In this work the flow through a radial diffuser representing the valve system of a hermetic
compressor is solved numerically by using the Immersed Boundary Method with the Virtual …

RESUMO O presente trabalho é uma investigação experimental do escoamento turbulento
em válvulas de compressores alternativos. O difusor radial com discos concêntricos e …

In refrigeration compressors, the suction and discharge valves are responsible for the
retention of the refrigerant from the suction chamber to the cylinder and passage from the …

This work analyzes the effects of the independent variation of different geometric dimensions
of compressor valves on the effective flow and force areas using a circular valve plate, such …
