Question: A 6 - cylinder reciprocating ammonia compressor between ( - 1 0 ^ { circ } mathrm { C } )

A 6-cylinder reciprocating ammonia compressor between \(-10^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) saturated suction and \(30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) saturated condensing temperatures has a cylinder bore of 80 mm and a stroke of 65 mm . It runs at \(1650\mathrm{rev}/\mathrm{min}\), has a refrigerating capacity of 95 kW and a clearance of \(4.5\%\). The drive power is measured at 35 kW . Assuming a standard cycle, calculate:
4.1 the compressor displacement
4.2 the clearance volumetric efficiency
4.3 the actual volumetric efficiency, and
4.4 the compressor efficiency.
