Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Optimal Compensation Approach of Roots Vacuum Pump Rotor considering Pumping Performance and Dimensional Accuracy   Order a copy of this article
    by Can Yuan, Sitong Xiang, Cheng Wu, Xin Pan, Jianguo Yang 
    Abstract: Roots vacuum pumps are vital in scientific and industrial applications. Traditional performance optimization focuses on rotor profile design but neglects machining errors, limiting real-world effectiveness. This paper proposes a rotor compensation optimization method considering both pumping performance and dimensional accuracy. Firstly, a nonlinear mapping model of rotor radial clearance and pumping performance is established. Then, the radial clearance of the traditional mirror compensation (MC) surface is optimized using a genetic algorithm to obtain the optimized clearance and compensation surface. Experimental results show a 91.83% reduction in average dimensional deviation, a 4.23% increase in flow rate, and a 7.01% decrease in exhaust temperature. Compared to MC, the optimized method improves dimensional error compensation by 30.23%, flow rate by 1.78%, and lowers exhaust temperature by 3.46%. This method significantly enhances rotor accuracy and performance.
