b) A single stage, double acting compressor has a free air delivery (F.A.D) 13 K3 CO4
of 14 m3 /min measured at 1.013 bar and 15o C. The pressure and
temperature in cylinder during induction are 0.95 bar and 32o C. The
delivery pressure is 7 bar and index of compression and expansion,
n=1.3. The clearance volume is 5% of the swept volume. Calculate:
1. Indicated power required.
2. Volumetric efficiency.

PART – C (1 × 14 = 14 Marks) Mark K- CO


Split up Level
8. a) A small single acting compressor has a bore and stroke of both 10 cm 14 K3 CO4
and is driven at 400 rpm. The clearance volume is 80 cm3 and the index
of compression and expansion is 1.2. The suction pressure is 0.95 bar
and the delivery is 8 bar. Calculate (a) the volume of free air at 1.03 bar
and 20°C dealt with per minute, if the temperature at the start of
compression is 30°C, and (b) the mean effective pressure of the indicator
diagram assuming constant suction and delivery pressure.
(Or)
b) A two-stage air compressor with complete intercooling delivers air to 14 K3 CO4
the mains at a pressure of 30 bar, the suction conditions being 1 bar and
150 C. If both cylinders have the same stroke, find the ratio of cylinders
diameters, for the efficiency of compression to be a maximum. Assume
the index of compression to be 1.3.
