Energy Efficiency Analysis of a Scroll-type Air Motor Based on a Simplified Mathematical Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a simplified mathematical model for a scroll-type air motor. Through air power/energy analysis, it has shown that a scroll-type air motor with a properly specified structure and suitable pressure of compressed air supply is able to achieve high energy efficiency and satisfies air power requirement. The features of a scroll-type air motor in geometry, mechanical structure, and pneumatic power transmission are studied in the paper. Differential geometry is used as the mathematical tool to parameterise the scroll. In this study, Matlab Symbolic Math Toolbox is found very efficient in finding analytic expressions of scroll chamber volumes and generalised torques. State shifting is employed to solve the dynamic system equations numerically. Energy efficiency of a scroll-type air motor is analysed based on the mathematical model.
