Compressor valve simulation of opening and closing

This project aims to develop an Excel or other software model for a new compressor design to simulate valve dynamics, specifically focusing on visualizing opening and closing events, as well as reed plate behavior.



Objective



Develop a comprehensive Excel or software model to simulate compressor valve dynamics.
Create graphs to illustrate valve opening/closing events and reed plate behavior.
Ensure accuracy and usability of the model under various operating conditions.
Tasks



Valve Kinematics:
Implement equations for valve motion based on input parameters.
Calculate lift, velocity, acceleration, and position over time.
Reed Plate Dynamics:
Model reed plate behavior using appropriate physics-based models.
Consider factors such as stiffness, damping, and contact mechanics.
Graphical Representation:
Develop clear graphs to depict valve motion and reed plate dynamics.
Include labeled axes, legends, and annotations for clarity.
Validation and Testing:
Verify model accuracy against theoretical calculations and known scenarios.
Ensure graphs accurately represent expected behavior.
