David Attenborough takes a breathtaking journey through the vast and diverse continent of Africa as it has never been seen before. (Part 5: Sahara) Northern Africa is home to the greatest desert on Earth, the Sahara. On the fringes, huge zebras battle over dwindling resources and naked mole rats avoid the heat by living a bizarre underground existence. Within the desert, where the sand dunes 'sing', camels seek out water with the help of their herders and tiny swallows navigate across thousands of square miles to find a solitary oasis. This is a story of an apocalypse and how, when nature is overrun, some are forced to flee, some endure, but a few seize the opportunity to establish a new order.

The Core of Efficiency: Mathematical Modelling of Screw Compressors
It all began in the 1930s, when the first screw compressors were developed by the Swedish engineer, Carl von Langen. These early compressors were simple in design, with two intermeshing rotors that compressed air or gas as they rotated. However, as the technology evolved, so did the need for more sophisticated design tools.
Where $A_s$ is suction port area and $A_int(\theta)$ is interlobe area.
One of the earliest and most influential models was developed by a team of researchers at the University of Michigan. They created a comprehensive model that accounted for the interactions between the rotors, the casing, and the working fluid. This model, known as the " Michigan Model," became the foundation for future research and development in the field.
Once the geometry is fixed, the thermodynamic behaviour is modelled using of a control volume. Each working chamber (between two consecutive lobes) is treated as an open system with varying volume.
