6. Methane gas is compressed in a two-stage, double acting
compressor which is electrically driven at 165 RPM. The low
pressure cylinder (30 cm x 35 cm) receives 6 m³/min of gas at
96.5 kPa, 43°C and the high-pressure cylinder (20 cm x 35
cm) discharges the gas at 717 kPa. The isothermal over-all
efficiency is 75%, Find (a) volumetric efficiency and (b) the
kW output of the motor.
