Question: 3 . A 4 - cylinder, single - stage, double acting air compressor delivers air at 7 bar: The pressure and temperature at the end

3. A 4-cylinder, single-stage, double acting air compressor delivers air at 7 bar: The pressure and temperature at the end of the suction stroke are 1 bar and \(27^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). It delivers \(30\mathrm{~m}^{3}\) of free air per minute when the compressor is running at 300 rpm . The pressure and temperature of the ambient air are 1 bar and \(17^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The clearance volume is \(4\%\) of the stroke volume. The stroke-to-bore ratio is 1.2. The index of compression and expansion is 1.32. Calculate the following:
(a) Volumetric efficiency of the compressor,
(b) Indicated power of the compressor;
(c) Size of motor; if mechanical efficiency is 85\%,
(d) Cylinder dimensions.
