    Assignment No. 01

    Name: Date: Score:


    Code: 3904 70
    Instructions:
    1. Write legibly and neatly
    2. Show your complete solution to the problems.
    3. Use BLUE or BLACK pens only.

    Problems:

    1. An industrial plant has 0.472 m3/s compressor pumping air to 1.72 MPa. Intake pressure is 101.3 kPa. Find
    (a) find the minimum capacity of air receiver (b) how long will it take the compressor to fill-up a 5.5 m3
    receiver from 827 kPa to 1700 kPa if the volumetric efficiency is 65%.

    a. minimum capacity of air receiver Answer: m3 10 points

    b. time to fill-up a 5.5 m3 receiver Answer: min 10 points

    2. The cylinders of a single-acting, two-stage tandem air compressor are 255 mm and 215 mm diameter,
    respectively, and the stroke is 230 mm for all cylinders. It is connected to three air storage bottles of equal
    sizes of internal dimensions 300 mm x 1.5 m long over-all with hemispherical ends. Taking atmospheric
    pressure as 1 bar and assuming volumetric efficiency of 88%, calculate the time required to pump up the
    bottles to a pressure of 31 bar gage from atmospheric conditions when running at 125 rev/min.

    a. time to fill up the three air storage bottles Answer: min 20 points

    3. A two cylinder, single-acting air compressor is directly coupled to an electric motor running at 1000 RPM.
    Other data are as follows:
    Size of each cylinder : 150 mm x 200 mm
    Air molecular mass : 29
    Clearance volume : 10% of displacement
    PV 1.6 = C, both compression and re-expansion
    Calculate (a) the volume rate of air delivery in terms of standard air for a delivery pressure of 8 times the
    ambient pressure under ambient conditions of 300 K and 1 bar and (b) shaft power required if the
    mechanical efficiency 81%.

    a. free air capacity of the compressor Answer: m3/min 10 points

    b. shaft power required Answer: kW 10 points

    4. An ideal single air compressor without clearance takes in air at 100 kPa with a temperature of 16C and
    delivered it at 413 kPa after isentropic compression. What is the discharge work done in kJ/kg?

    a. compressor work Answer: kW 10 points
