Compressor is the crucial device for the present fuel cell system, reflected by the
compressor's selection, performance, cost, and control. The review papers on compressor …

Positive displacement compressors are essential in many engineering systems, from
domestic to industrial applications. Many studies have been devoted to providing more …

The aim of this paper is to facilitate the selection of the expander for a small-scale organic
Rankine cycle based on an experimental comparison of a piston, a screw, a scroll and a …

A novel generalized framework is presented that can be used to simulate the quasi-steady-
state performance of a wide range of positive displacement compressors and expanders …

The first part of this chapter introduces the main considerations about positive displacement
expanders. The second part presents the principle of operation of major types of positive …

In this paper, the first open-source generalized simulation framework for positive
displacement machines (PDSim) reported in literature is employed to model different …

The thermodynamic performance, safety, and environmentally friendly demands of the
thermodynamic cycle are driving the exploration of new working fluid mixtures. Mixtures …

Abstract trans-1-Chloro-3, 3, 3-trifluoroprop-1-ene (R1233zd (E)) and trans-1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4-
hexafluorobut-2-ene (R1336mzz (E)) have gained increasing momentum due to their low …

A semi-empirical modeling procedure for twin-screw compressor performance simulation is
proposed in this paper. In detail, the compression process is split into a number of stages …

The speed of sound is a key thermodynamic property widely used across various energy
utilization applications. However, current universal models struggle to accurately predict the …
