Dynamics of the impact force generator

During the last years the interest of scientists in multibody mechanical systems in which the phenomenon of impact occurs has been still growing. Numerous investigations are carried out on the possibility of employing this phenomenon to increase the efficiency of operation of industrial machines or to eliminate those phenomena which are undesirable during machine operation. In the present paper a principle of operation of the impact force generator being an element of the rotor of the heat exchanger has been presented. Step disturbances of the rotational velocity of the rotor caused by the generator are aimed at intensification of the heat exchange process.
