| description | The Coupled Vane Compressor (CVC) is a compact compressor that aims to reduce
the amount of material used during manufacturing. To study the feasibility and
performance of the CVC, the compressor is simulated in a 2D simulation using a
numerical computational code ANSYS Fluent. Updated techniques such as the overset
mesh method, courant number, and inflation mesh layer help to capture the flow
details within the CVC to a high level of accuracy. Through simulations, data for
pressure, velocity, temperature, density, mass flow rate, and total heat transfer rate at
varying wall and outlet temperature are obtained. It was concluded that as operating
temperature increase, an increase in velocity and total heat transfer rate was observed.
On the other hand, the increase of operating temperature leads to a decrease in density
and mass flow rate. Overall, the results from this transient 2D simulation opens more
opportunities for subsequent 3D simulations to better capture real-life results of the
CVC. |
