Accounting for leakage: $$ \eta_v = 1 - \frac\sum \dotm leak\rho suction \cdot \dotV_theor $$
Once the differential equations are solved (usually via numerical methods like Runge-Kutta), we can calculate the key performance indicators (KPIs): Volumetric Efficiency ( ηveta sub v Accounting for leakage: $$ \eta_v = 1 -
Compares the actual work to the ideal isentropic compression work. $$ \eta_is = \fracW_idealW_actual = \frac\dotm(h_dis,isentropic - h_suc)P_shaft $$ (Note: Shaft power $P_shaft$ includes mechanical losses due to bearings and timing gears, whereas Indicated Power does not). Accounting for leakage: $$ \eta_v = 1 -
$$ \eta_is = 20.1 / 23.65 = 0.85 \text (85%) $$ Accounting for leakage: $$ \eta_v = 1 -
