2.3 A two stages, single acting air compressor compresses air to 20bar. The air enters the L.P cylinder at 1bar and 27°c and leaves it at 4.7bar. The air enters the H.P. cylinder at 4.5bar and 27°c. the size of the L.P cylinder is 400mm diameter and 500mm stroke. The clearance volume in both cylinder is 4% of the respective stroke volume. The compressor runs at 200rpm, taking index of compression and expansion in the two cylinders as 1.3. Determine 2.3.1 the indicated power required to run the compressor.

A turbine is driven by a system that enters the turbine at the ff. conditions: 500 kg/h, 44 atm, 450 deg C, 60 m/s linear speed. The steam exits at a point five meters below the inlet stream of the turbine with the following conditions: atmospheric pressure, 360 m/s speed. 70,000 W of shaft work is delivered by the turbine while 104 kilocalories/h heat is lost. Here are the questions to be answered: 1. Why is the value of Wexp 0? (Explain) 2. Given the above values, can you calculate the Wflow? (Yes/No)
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.
There are required 1902.3 kW of compressor power to handle air adiabatically from 1 atm, 26.7°C to 304.06 kPa. The initial air velocity is 21 m/s; the final is 85 m/s.
