2.3 A two stages, single acting air compressor compresses air to 20bar. The air enters the L.P cylinder at 1bar and 27°c and leaves it at 4.7bar. The air enters the H.P. cylinder at 4.5bar and 27°c. the size of the L.P cylinder is 400mm diameter and 500mm stroke. The clearance volume in both cylinder is 4% of the respective stroke volume. The compressor runs at 200rpm, taking index of compression and expansion in the two cylinders as 1.3. Determine 2.3.1 the indicated power required to run the compressor.

Question
2.3 A two stages, single acting air
compressor compresses air to 20bar. The
air enters the L.P cylinder at 1bar and
27°c and leaves it at 4.7bar. The air enters
the H.P. cylinder at 4.5bar and 27°c. the
size of the L.P cylinder is 400mm
diameter and 500mm stroke. The
clearance volume in both cylinder is 4% of
the respective stroke volume. The
compressor runs at 200rpm, taking index
of compression and expansion in the two
cylinders as 1.3. Determine
2.3.1 the indicated power required to run
the compressor.
