- The pressure and temperature conditions of air at the suction of compressor are
- If p₁, is the pressure of air entering the L.P. cylinder and p₂ is the pressure of air leaving the L.P. cylinder (or inter-cooler pressure), then the ratio of cylinder diameters for a single acting, two stage reciprocating air compressor with complete intercooling is given by (where D₁ = Dia. of L.P. cylinder, and D₂ = Dia. of H.P. cylinder)
- In n₁ and n₂ are the indices of compression for the first and second stage of compression, then the ratio of work-done on the first and second stages (W₁/W₂) with perfect intercooling is given by
- If p₁ is the pressure of air entering the L.P, cylinder and p₃ is the pressure of air leaving the H.P. cylinder, then the ratio of cylinder diameters for a single acting, two stage reciprocating compressor with complete intercooling is given by
- Volumetric efficiency of a compressor decreases with ________ in compression ratio.
- In multistage compressor, the isothermal compression is achieved by
- In a single stage, single acting reciprocating air compressor, without clearance, the work-done on the air during isentropic compression is ________ the heat required to raise the temperature of air from T₁ to T₂ at a constant pressure.
- Out of the following, from where you will prefer to take intake for air compressor
- For supplying intermittent small quantity of air at high pressure, following compressor is best suited
- The thrust on the rotor in a centrifugal compressor is produced by
