. A single stage double acting air compressor delivers 5 m of free air per minute at 1 bar and 20 C to 7.5 bar with the following data;R.P.M. = 300; Temperature rise of air during suction stroke = 12 C ; Clearance volume = 5% of stroke volume; Index of compression and expansion, n=1.3; Length of the stroke = 1.3 times the cylinder diameter.

Calculate: 1. Power input to the shaft; 2. The volumetric efficiency; and 3. The cylinder diameter

Expert Solution

To find the volumetric efficiency, Power input and diameter of cylinder, we will have to determine the swept volume of cylinder. Please refer to attached images for solution of given problem. Do comment in case of any query, all the best!!

A single stage double acting air compressor having a clearance of 4% takes in air at 14.2 Psia and 60 and compresses it to 200 Psia. If the weight of the air compressed per minute is 50 lbs. and n = 1.35, compute: a) The work required to compress the air per minute b) The piston displacement if the compressor operates at 100 RPM c) The volume of free air measured at 14.7 Psia atmospheric pressure.

A two stage, single-acting compressor has a free air delivery of 4.2 m3/min when the ambient condition is 1.013 bar, 15oC. • The suction pressure and temperature are 0.98 bar and 32oC respectively. • The air is compressed to 16 bar according to the law pv1.3 = C. Assuming that the compressor is designed for minimum work with complete intercooling, calculate the indicated power required to drive the compressor.

11. A cast iron flywheel is to be designed for a single cylinder double acting steam engine which delivers 150 kW at 80 r.p.m. The maximum fluctuation of energy per revolution is 10%. The total fluctuation of the speed is 4 per cent of the mean speed. If the mean diameter of the flywheel rim is 2.4 metres, determine the following : (a) Cross-sectional dimensions of the rim, assuming that the hub and spokes provide 5% of the rotational inertia...

1) A reciprocating compressor has two stages with inlet air going into LP stage at 1 bar, 16°C and at the rate of 12 m3/min. Air is finally delivered at 7 bar and there is perfect intercooling at optimum pressure between the stages. The index for compression is 1.25 and compressor runs at 600 rpm. Neglecting clearance volume determine intermediate pressure and total power required. 2) A reciprocating compressor of single stage and double acting type has free air delivered...

An adult inhales approximately 12 times per minute, taking in about 500 mL of air with each inhalation. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs, but there is essentially no exchange of nitrogen. The exhaled air has a mole fraction of nitrogen of 0.75 and is saturated with water vapor at body temperature, 37°C. If ambient conditions Professor Christina Tang, [email protected] 2 are 25°C, 1 atm and 50% relative humidity, determine what volume of liquid water (mL) would...

Design an electro-pneumatic circuit to control a double-acting cylinder via a 5/2 way singlesolenoid valve. The on switch is of detent type and when actuated, the piston will repeatedly extend and retract until the switch is released. The length of forward stroke and the speed of forward and return motion should be adjustable via roller-limit switches and flow control valves respectively. (a) Show pneumatic and electrical circuits for indirect control of the system described above, i.e. each switch in the...

A single stage steam turbine is supplied with steam at 5 bars, 200 C at the rate of 50kgmin. It exhausts into a condenser at a pressure of 0.2 bars. The blade speed is 400msec. Nozzles are inclined at an angle of 20 to the plane of the wheel and outlet blade angle 30. Neglecting friction losses, the power developed by the turbine will be?

The velocity of steam leaving the nozzle of a single-stage impulse turbine is 813 m/sec. The nozzle angle is 20° and the blade speed corresponds to maximum blade efficiency. The moving blade is symmetric, assumed to be frictionless, and there is neither expansion nor contraction of the steam flow through the blade passage. Draw the velocity diagram and determine the relative velocity of steam leaving the blade.
