A 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° C. It delivers 2 m^3 of free air per minute when the compressor is running at 300 r.p.m. The clearance volume is 5 percent of the stroke volume. The pressure and temperature of ambient air are 1.013 bar and 20°C. The index of compression is 1.3 and the index of expansion is 1.35. Find:  1. Volumetric efficiency of the compressor 2. Diameter and stroke of the cylinder if both are equal

Question

A 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° C. It delivers 2 m^3 of free air per minute when the compressor is running at 300 r.p.m. The clearance volume is 5 percent of the stroke volume. The pressure and temperature of ambient air are 1.013 bar and 20°C. The index of compression is 1.3 and the index of expansion is 1.35.

Find: 
1. Volumetric efficiency of the compressor

2. Diameter and stroke of the cylinder if both are equal.
