Single-screw compressor has attracted attentions from the scientific community due to its excellent performance. However, thermal deformations of the star wheel, screw, and casing substantially affect the clearance between the components, and hence reduce the performance of the single-screw compressor. In this study, the thermal deformation of a meshing pair of the single-screw compressor was investigated using a finite-element-based thermo-mechanical coupled model. This model was developed based on measured thermal boundary conditions during compressor operation. The effect of thermal deformation on the compressor sealing clearance was then studied. The results showed that the thermal deformation of the casing, screw, screw shaft, and star wheel significantly affected the clearance between the tooth tip and the groove bottom as well as the meshing pair clearance distribution. The change of clearance between the casing and screw is up to 0.03 mm while the change of the clearance between the star wheel tooth tip and screw groove is up to 0.05 mm. Furthermore, it was found that the spatial position meshing error caused by the thermal deformation was one of the major reasons for the wear of the meshing pair of the single-screw compressor. The simulated thermal deformation results agreed well with the experimental data. The clearances of the compressor were modified based on the thermal deformation in a single-screw compressor with a capacity of 6 m3/min and the results showed that the modified compressor can operate reliably. This indicated that the developed model could be used in the design of the single-screw compressor. It provides guidance for the design and optimization of large single-screw compressors.

The key components of the single screw compressor are rotor screw and two star-wheels which are symmetrical arrangement. The rotor screw and two star-wheels have composed a special spatial meshing pair. The high meshed precision is the guarantee of its excellent performance. In this paper, we will study the milling technology of screw milling cutter to the rotor screw, and establish the finite element model of the cutter, and analyze the cutter’s stress situation during the milling process, make the cutting parameters of the screw optimization, In this paper, we will also study the influence of the Milling depth and cutting width to tool in displacement and stress, in order to provide a theoretical reference of selecting of appropriate cutting parameters ,improving of processing quality and reducing wear of the tool.

In this paper, a model to predict the thermal effects in a flashlamp-pumped direct-liquid-cooled split-disk Nd:LuAG ceramic laser amplifier has been presented. In addition to pumping distribution, the model calculates thermal-induced wavefront aberration as a function of temperature, thermal stress and thermal deformation in the gain medium. Experimental measurements are carried out to assess the accuracy of the model. We expect that this study will assist in the design and optimization of high-energy lasers operated at repetition rate.

The solidification shrinkage of liquid steel has an important impact on thermal deformation behavior of high-temperature thin shell. Solidification shrinkage of liquid steel is an important basis for structure and shap optimization of the mould. In this paper, a direct coupled model was built on heat transfer in solidification and stress-strain by using the ANSYS software. And solidification shrinkage of liquid steel with the interior temperature and stress distribution were studied in the process of steel solidification, and it provided a theoretical basis for the further optimization of shape of the thin slab FTSC mould. This study was based on analysis of temperature and stress, deriving calculation of solidification shrinkage of steel’s phase change on macro-state by calculating the variation discipline of the distance between nodes.

As for the phenomenon of the bottom thermal inward convex distortion of the Composite Bottom Pan (CBP) on the condition of heating, the mechanism of the bottom distortion was researched on the basis of ANSYS 10.0 considering the structural characteristic and the heating conditions of the composite bottom pan. The results showed that the thicker the bottom of the composite bottom pan, the smaller its thermal deformation amount. The thicker the junction of the pot and wall was, the smaller its deformation. And it was helpful for reduction of deformation to use a big rounded transition. The increase of rings number of magnetic conductive sheet would lead to a less bottom thermal inward convex distortion of the CBP. The larger the area of the additional stainless steel sheet (or ring), the smaller the deformation amount. Consequently, the research laid a solid theoretical foundation for the design and optimization of the structure of composite bottom pan.

Between the Wave Energy Converters (WECs) of a farm, hydrodynamic interactions occur and have an impact on the surrounding wave field, both close to the WECs (“near field” effects) and at large distances from their location (“far field” effects). To simulate this “far field” impact in a fast and accurate way, a generic coupling methodology between hydrodynamic models has been developed by the Coastal Engineering Research Group of Ghent University in Belgium. This coupling methodology has been widely used for regular waves. However, it has not been developed yet for realistic irregular sea states. The objective of this paper is to present a validation of the novel coupling methodology for the test case of irregular waves, which is demonstrated here for coupling between the mild slope wave propagation model, MILDwave, and the ‘Boundary Element Method’-based wave–structure interaction solver, NEMOH. MILDwave is used to model WEC farm “far field” effects, while NEMOH is used to model “near field” effects. The results of the MILDwave-NEMOH coupled model are validated against numerical results from NEMOH, and against the WECwakes experimental data for a single WEC, and for WEC arrays of five and nine WECs. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between disturbance coefficient (Kd) values in the entire numerical domain ( R M S E K d , D ) are used for evaluating the performed validation. The R M S E K d , D between results from the MILDwave-NEMOH coupled model and NEMOH is lower than 2.0% for the performed test cases, and between the MILDwave-NEMOH coupled model and the WECwakes experimental data R M S E K d , D remains below 10%. Consequently, the efficiency is demonstrated of the coupling methodology validated here which is used to simulate WEC farm impact on the wave field under the action of irregular waves.

From a geometric viewpoint, a mathematical model of a single screw compressor with a conjugate pair of meshing conical teeth gate rotor is a conjugate problem. Coordinate transformation and envelope theory are applied to determine the sets of spatial points of the contacting surfaces that define the main rotor of a single screw compressor. Envelope theory and analytical procedure are used to derive mathematical models of a gate rotor and a main rotor. Stress analysis for the single screw compressor mechanism is performed. PowerMILL software package is used to simulate the manufacture of a main rotor. A numerical example with a compressor ratio of 11:6 is presented to demonstrate the application of the mathematical models developed in this paper.
