Study on heat transfer of leakage flow in tooth tip clearance for single screw compressor based on fuzzy contourlet finite element method

Abstract

ABSTRACTHeat transfer of leakage flow in tip clearance will reduce the working performance, and therefore it is necessary to study it in depth. To improve the computing effectiveness of heat transfer of leakage flow in the tooth tip clearance of the single-screw compressor, the fuzzy contourlet finite element model is constructed by combining the contourlet finite element method and fuzzy finite element method. First, the related research progresses are summarized. Second, heat transfer model of leakage flow in the tip clearance of single-screw compressor is constructed. Third, the fuzzy contourlet wavelet finite element model is established. Finally, heat transfer simulation of leakage flow in the tip clearance of single-screw compressor is performed, and the variables with fuzziness are chosen, which are transformed to random variables based on information entropy theory. The comparing analysis among simulation analysis and test results is performed, and results show that the contourlet finite element method has highest computing precision and efficiency. In addition, the temperature of leakage flow in the tip clearance (L1) is also obtained, and results show that the fuzzy contourlet wavelet finite element method can effectively obtain the temperature distribution rules with fuzziness.
