The catalogue for a refrigerant 22, four-cylinder, hermetic compressor operating at 29 r/s. a condensing temperature of 40 °C and an evaporating temperature of -4 °C shows a refrigeration capacity of 96.4 kW. At this operating points the motor (whose efficiency is 90 percent) draws 28.9 kW. The bore of the cylinders is 87 mm and the piston stroke is 70 mm. The performance data are based on 8 °C of subcooling of the liquid leaving the condenser. Compute 3.1 the actual volumetric efficiency and  3.2 the compression efficiency.

Question

The catalogue for a refrigerant 22, four-cylinder, hermetic compressor operating at 29
r/s. a condensing temperature of 40 °C and an evaporating temperature of -4 °C shows
a refrigeration capacity of 96.4 kW. At this operating points the motor (whose efficiency
is 90 percent) draws 28.9 kW. The bore of the cylinders is 87 mm and the piston stroke
is 70 mm. The performance data are based on 8 °C of subcooling of the liquid leaving
the condenser. Compute
3.1 the actual volumetric efficiency and 
3.2 the compression efficiency.
