Numerical design (Mathematical modelling) of a compressor for refrigeration and air conditioning(cylinder volume calculation)

Compressor is the heart of any refrigerating equipment as it pump the refrigerant in to the all components like our heart supply the blood throughout the body parts. Compressor decide the cooling capacity and power consumption for refrigerating machine. Its main work is to take the refrigerant from suction pipe at very low pressure(temperature as well) and compress it to a very high pressure (discharge pressure). As we all know that refrigerant condense in condenser at constant temperature (for zeotropic blends it vary), and that temperature is corresponding to the discharge pressure of refrigerant. Discharge pressure of refrigerant is such that its corresponding temperature should be higher than the ambient temperature only than refrigerant will condense in to liquid if the discharge saturation temperature(corresponding to discharge pressure) is lower than the ambient temperature, than refrigerant will not condense. All compressors can be described on their application(use) as
