Topic: Compressor: Tutorial 2

1. A single-stage, single-acting air compressor compresses air from 1.013 bar and 25°C to 7 bar. The bore is 120mm, stroke is 150mm, and it runs at 250 rpm. With a 5% clearance volume and 85% mechanical efficiency, determine the volumetric efficiency, power, and mass of air delivered per minute. 2. A two-stage, single-acting air compressor compresses air from 1 bar and 20°C to 15 bar after intercooling to 25°C. Calculate the minimum power required at 400 rpm if compression follows PV1.25=C. 3. A single-stage, single-acting air compressor compresses air from

Tutorial 2

Topic : Compressor

1. A single stage single acting air compressor is used to compress air from 1.013 bar and 25 C
to 7 bar according to law PV1.3 = C.The bore and stroke of a cylinder are 120mm and 150mm
respectively. The compressor runs at 250 rpm .If clearance volume of the cylinder is 5% of
stroke volume and the mechanical efficiency of the compressor is 85%, determine volumetric
efficiency, power, and mass of air delivered per minute.

2. A two stage singe acting air compressor compresses 2m3 air from 1 bar and 20 C to 15 bar.
The air from the low pressure compressor is cooled to 25 C in the intercooler. Calculate the
minimum power required to run the compressor if the compression follows PV1.25=C and the
compressor runs at 400 rpm.

3. A single stage single acting air compressor is used to compress air from 1 bar and 22 C to 6
bar according to the law PV1.25 = C. The compressor runs at 125 rpm and the ratio of stroke
length to bore of a cylinder is 1.5. If the power required by the compressor is 20 Kw, determine
the size of the cylinder
