Two stage, double acting air compressor operating at 200rpm takes in air at
100kpa and 38 C the stroke of the high pressure cylinder is 38.1 cm and
the size of the low pressure cylinder is 25.4 cm x 38.1 cm the clearance for
both cylinders is 5% air is discharge at 415 kpa from the low pressure
cylinder and passes through the inter cooler and enter the high pressure
cylinder at 415 Kpa and 38 C. the discharge pressure from the High
pressure cylinder is 690 Kpa.
Determine:
a. Size of the HP cylinder when n=1.3
b. heat rejected by the intercooler
c. power to run the compressor
