Optimization of inter-cooler in reciprocating compressor.

Author(s) : LU Y. D., SUN S. Y., YAN C. Q., YANG S. K.

Summary

Based on the energy balance law and the mass balance law in thermodynamics, a mathematical model on the transient heat exchange process of the inter-cooler is established. A model on optimization of the cooler is proposed in which the objective function is the total entropy generation rate, giving consideration to both the heat transfer and the flow resistance in the cooler. Finally, the results of the optimization on the structure size and the operating parameters are searched for the cooler.
