Question
b) A single-acting, two-stage reciprocating air compressor runs at a speed of 500 rev/min
with overall pressure ratio of 20 to 1 has free air delivery of 5.0 m3/min. For the first
stage compressor, the pressure and temperature at the end of induction stroke is 100kPa
and 27°C, respectively. The intermediate pressure is 500 kPa, and the intercooling
process is complete. The clearance volumes of both stages are 5% of their respective
swept volumes. The ambient pressure and temperature are at 100 kPa and 27°C,
respectively. The index of compression and expansion, n is 1.3.
i) Sketch the cycle on a P-V diagram.
ii)
Determine final delivery temperature of the compressor, C.
iii)
Determine totalindicated power, kw.
iv)
Determine volumetric efficiency for the first stage, %.
v)
Calculate the swept volume of the first and second stage, m2.
Take the value of R for air is 0.287 kl/kg.K.
