Energy Conversion for Gas Isentropic Compression Process with High Speed Rotation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Energy conversion from rotational to thermal is investigated for a compressible ideal gas. The high speed rotation is considered as the driven force of the isentropic compression. The analytical model explaining the thermodynamic parameters (pressure, pressure gradient, density, and especially temperature) are developed. The analytical results are compared with the simulation data obtained from Finite Element Analysis, which employs compressible Navier-Stokes equations and heat equation. A good accordance between the analytical and FEA results has been observed. And it shows a predictable beginning and end state for the isentropic rotation process.
