The dynamic behavior of reed valves during suction and discharge is very important in
predicting compressor performance and valve fatigue fracture. For an accurate dynamic …

Hermetic reciprocating compressors are widely used in small-and medium-size refrigeration
systems based on the vapor-compression cycle. One of the main parts of this type of …

Radial diffusers have been used as valve model to determine effective force area and
discharge coefficient of the flow. A comprehensive data set of these parameters is lacking in …

One of the main parts of refrigeration compressors is the automatic valve system used to
control the suction and discharge processes. Experimental studies of these processes in the …

Although the flow between parallel and inclined disks is a simple representation of many
complex flow situations, this class of flow poses significant problems for experimental and …
