A single stage, single acting reciprocating compressor has a bore of 250 mm and a stroke of 550 mm. It runs at a speed of 300 rev/min. The clearance is 4% of swept volume, and the polytropic index is 1.39 throughout. The intake pressure is 97 kPa at 25°C, and the final compression pressure is 600 kPa. If the free air conditions are 101 kPa and 20°C.

Question
b) A single stage, single acting reciprocating compressor has a bore of 250 mm and a stroke
of 550 mm. It runs at a speed of 300 rev/min. The clearance is 4% of swept volume, and
the polytropic index is 1.39 throughout. The intake pressure is 97 kPa at 25°C, and the
final compression pressure is 600 kPa. If the free air conditions are 101 kPa and 20°C,
determine the free air delivered in m/s.
