A single acting two-stage air compressor deals with 4 m^3/min of air under atmospheric conditions of 1.013 bar and 15°C with aspced of 250r.p.m. The delivery pressure is 80 bar. Assuming complete inlercooling, find the minimum power required by the compressor and the bore and stroke of the compressor. Assume a pistonspeed of 3 m/s, mechanical efficiency of 75 percent, and volumetric efficiency of 80 percent per stage. Assumethe polytropic index of compression in both the stages to be it = 1.25 and neglect clearance.
i . A gas well is flowing at a flow rate of 1.2x105scf/d with the surface pressure of 500psi and compressor inlet pressure of 100psi. Calculate the horse power requirement.
Consider a 10:1 pressure rise in the ideal compressor with air as the
working fluid compared to the a pump with water as the working fluid
and the same pressure rise and same inlet pressure. Check all that apply
The compreesor takes 300 times more work/unit mass as the pump
The work per unit mass is about the same between the two.
Becase the pump deals iwth a liquid the work will be higher.
The compressor in a Brayton cycle has a much greater effect on performance
than a pump in a Rankine cycle.
