Question: A single stage single acting air compressor has intake pressure 1 bar and delivery pressure 10 bar. The compression and expansion follow the law (mathrm{pV}^{1.3}=)

A single stage single acting air compressor has intake pressure 1 bar and delivery pressure 10 bar. The compression and expansion follow the law \(\mathrm{pV}^{1.3}=\) constant. The piston speed and rotations of the shaft are \(200 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{min}\) and \(360 \mathrm{rpm}\), respectively. Indicated power is \(40 \mathrm{~kW}\) and volumetric efficiency is \(90 \%\). Determine the bore and stroke.
