Question: A single stage, single acting reciprocating air compressor delivers 0 . 7 kg of air per min at 6 bar. The suction temperature and pressure

A single stage, single acting reciprocating air compressor delivers 0.7 kg of air per min at 6 bar. The suction temperature and pressure are 25C and 1 bar. The bore and stroke of the compressor are 100 mm and 150 mm respectively. The clearance volume is 3% of swept volume. Assuming the index of compression and expansion to be 1.3. Find:
Volumetric efficiency of the compressor.
[5]
Power supplied to drive the compressor if mechanical efficiency is 85%.
Speed of the compressor.
