2. A single acting reciprocating air compressor has cylinder diameter and stroke of 200 mm and 300 mm respectively. The compressor sucks air at 1 bar and 27°C and delivers at 8 bar Find: I. Indicated power of the compressor; II. Mass of air delivered by the compressor per minute; III. Temperature of the delivered by the compressor. The compression follows the law PV^1.25 = C (Take R as 287 J/kg K).

Step 1
First, we need to find the swept volume (Vs) of the compressor. The swept volume is the volume displaced by the piston during one stroke. It can be calculated using the formula: Vs = π/4 × D² × L Where D is the cylinder diameter (200 mm), L is the stroke Show more…

A single stage, double acting air compressor is required to deliver 14m3 of air per minute with inlet conditions of the air set at 1.01325 bar and 15°C. The delivery pressure from this compressor is 7 bar and the speed of operation is 300RPM. If the clearance volume is set to 5% of the swept volume of the cylinder and the index of compression and expansion is given as 1.3, calculate; 1) The swept volume of the cylinder 2) The delivery temperature of the compressed air 3) The power required to drive the compressor
A single-stage, single-acting air compressor delivers 0.6 kg of air per minute at 6 bar. The temperature and pressure at the end of the suction stroke are 30°C and 1 bar. The bore and stroke of the compressor are 100 mm and 150 mm, respectively. The clearance is 3% of the swept volume. Assuming the index of compression and expansion to be 1.3, find: i. Volumetric efficiency of the compressor ii. Power required if the mechanical efficiency is 90% iii. Speed of the compressor (rpm)
