Measurements of Shock Compression

Abstract

This article was written based on the topic of student's dissertation. This is the research of shock phenomena which may occur, under certain conditions, by operation of displacement compressors with the Built-in pressure ratio. These phenomena are called the Shock compression and the Shock expansion or we can use terms “Under-compression” and “Over-compression”. The contribution describes current possibilities of a measurement Shock compression at the experimental measuring stand in Laboratory of displacement compressors which is owned by Department of Power Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava. The contribution deals with the analysis of the experiment and as well as the results obtained which confirm some the conclusions of the Basic physical model.
