Abstract

This paper summarizes the present state of the theory of calculation of the pumping capacity of screw rotors. The calculation starts from the equation for the volumetric flow rate of the flow between two unconfined plates modified by correction coefficients obtained from the relationships for the flow rate in simpler geometrical configurations to which the screw rotor may be, under certain circumstances, reduced.
