A reciprocating compressor has a pressure ratio of 9. The clearance volume of the compressor is 8 percent of the total volume(v1). The compression and expansion index is 1.31 and 1.35. What is the volumetric efficiency?
Added by Thando G.
Step 1
Given that the clearance volume is 8% of the total volume, we can substitute C = 0.08 into the formula to get: V = V1 * (1 - 0.08) = 0.92 * V1 Show more…

Air enters a compressor at ambient conditions, 100 $\mathrm{kPa}$ and $300 \mathrm{K},$ and exits at $800 \mathrm{kPa}$. If the isentropic compressor efficiency is $85 \%,$ what is the second-law efficiency of the compressor process?
An air-standard diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 18 and a cutoff ratio of 2. At the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 27°C. Determine the thermal efficiency.

A compressor takes in saturated vapor $R-134 a$ at $-20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and delivers it at $30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $0.4 \mathrm{MPa}$ Assuming that the compression is adiabatic, find the isentropic efficiency and the secondlaw efficiency.
