Question
A single-stage, single-acting air compressor running at 1000 rev/min delivers air at
25 bar. For this purpose the induction and free air conditions can be taken as 1.013 bar
and 15°C, and the FAD as 0.25 m³/min. The clearance volume is 3% of the swept
volume and the stroke/bore ratio is 1.2/1. Calculate:
(i) the bore and stroke;
(ii) the volumetric efficiency;
(iii) the indicated power;
(iv) the isothermal efficiency.
Take the index of compression and re-expansion as 1.3.
