Question: A single - stage, single - acting air compressor running at 1 0 0 r p m delivers air at 2 5 bar. For this

A single-stage, single-acting air compressor running at 100rpm delivers air at 25 bar. For this purpose the induction and free air conditions can be taken as 1.013 bar and 15C, and the FAD as 0.25m3min. The clearance volume is 3% of the swept volume and the stroke/bore ratio 1.2/1. Take the index of compression and re-expansion as 1.3.
a. Calculate (i) The bore and stroke (ii) the volumetric efficiency (iii) The indicated power (iv) the isothermal efficiency (73.2 mm,87.8mm,67.7%,2kW,67.7%)
b. If the compressor has actual conditions of 1 bar and 40C and delivery pressure is 25 bar. Taking the bore and stroke as previously calculated. Determine FAD referred to 1.013 bar and 15C and the indicated power required. Also calculate the volumetric efficiency. (0.226m3min,1.98(kW),61.2%,67.7%)
