Abstract:
An isothermal piston is a device that can achieve near-isothermal compression by enhancing the heat transfer area with a porous media. However, flow resistance between the porous media and the liquid is introduced, which cannot be neglected at a high operational speed. Thus, the influence of rotational speed on the isothermal piston compression system is analyzed in this study. A flow resistance mathematical model is established based on the face-centered cubic structure hypothesis. The energy conservation rate and efficiency of the isothermal piston are defined. The effect of rotational speed on resistance is discussed, and a comprehensive energy conservation performance assessment of the isothermal piston is analyzed. The results show that the increasing rate of the resistance work increases significantly proportional to the rotational speed, and the proportion of resistance work in the total work increases gradually and sharply. The total work including compression and resistance cannot be larger than the compression work under adiabatic conditions. The maximum rotational speed is 650 rpm.
