Summary

The model is based on five main and four secondary dimensionless physically meaningful parameters. Expressions for the volumetric effectiveness, the work per unit mass and the indicated efficiency are derived. The model has been used in order to predict the performance of a reciprocating air compressor. The relative importance of the various losses of different parameters on the reciprocating compressor behaviour are discussed. The in-cylinder residual mass fraction and the wall to fluid heat transfer influences on the reciprocating compressor performance are highlighted.
