Q.1] Define compressor Explain classification of air compressor


Q2] working of reciprocating compressor with diagram, work done
derivation.
Q.3] A 4 cylinder double-acting compressor is required to compress
30m3/min of air at 1 bar and 27oC to a pressure of 16 bar. Determine the
size of motor required and cylinder dimensions if the following data is
given:
Speed of Compressor =32 rpm
Clearance volume =4%
Stroke to bore ration =1.2
Mechanical Efficiency =82%
Value of index=1.32
Assume no pressure change in suction valves and the air gets heated by
12oC during suction stroke.

Q.4] Air at 103 kPa and 27°C is drawn in L.P. cylinder of a two-stage air
compressor and is isentropically compressed to 700 kPa. The air is then
cooled at constant pressure to 37°C in an intercooler and is then again
compressed isentropically to 4 MPa in the H.P. cylinder, and is delivered
at this pressure. Determine the power required to run compressor if it has
to deliver 30 m3 of air per hour measured at inlet conditions.
Q.5] A two cylinder , single acting air compressor has to deliever 15kg/min.
of free sir against a delievery pressure of 7 bar. The suction conditions
are 1 bar and 30°C. Assuming 4% clearance, index for both compression
and expansion 1.3 and stroke to bore ratio 1.2:1, determine the
dimensions of cylinder. Also. Determine power to drivethe compressor if
its mechanical efficiency is 80%. The compressor runs at 1800rpm.

Q.6] Explain component and working of centrifugal compressor.

Q.7] Explain surging and choking of compressor?
