Problem 9.16. A three stage ǎr com pressor draws 10 ml min. of air 1 kgf!cm2...
1. Air is to be compressed polytropically in a single stage, single acting, reciprocating compressor from 1.013 bars and 15°C to 7 bars according to the law pv1.25 = c. Assuming clearance volume is negligible, and the intake volume is 0.3m3/min, calculate [20] • The air delivery temperature [5] . The indicated power. [5] • The power to drive the compressor if its mechanical efficiency is 80% [2] • Explain what is a meant by single stage, single acting, compressor.[4]...
