• 1.

The initial condition of air in an air compressor is 98 kPa and 27 °C and


discharges air at 450 kPa. The bore and stroke are 355 mm and 381 mm,
respectively with percent clearance of 8% running at 300 rpm. Find the volume of
air at suction.
• 2. A two-stage air compressor at 100 kPa and 22°C discharges to 750 kPa. If the
intercooler intake is 105°C, determine the value of n
• 3. A water-jacketed air compressor handles 0.343 m3/s of air entering at 96.5 kPa
and 21°C and leaving at 480 kPa and 132°C; 10.9 kg/hr of cooling water enters the
jacket at 15°C and leaves at 21°C. Determine the compressor brake power.
• 4. A two-stage, double acting compressor is to deliver 90 lb/min of air from 14.3
psia to 90°F to a final pressure of 185 psia. The normal barometer is 29.8 in-Hg
and the temperature is 80°F. The pressure drop in the intercooler is 3 psi and the
speed is 210 rpm and pV1.34 = C during compression and expansion. The
clearance is 5% for both cylinders. Find the volume of free air if the temperature
of the cooling water increased by 18°F.
