12.A two stage double acting air compressor operating at 200rpm takes in air at 1.013bar and27
oC. The size of the L.P. cylinder is 355 x 375 mm,the stroke of HP cylinder is same as the
LP cylinder and the clearance of both the cylinders is 4%. The LP cylinder discharges the air
at a pressure of 4.52 bar. The air passes through the inter cooler so that it enters the HP
cylinder at 27oC and 3.850 bar, finally it is discharged from the compressor at 15.4 bar. The
values of n for both cylinders are 1.25. Cp = 1.0035 KJ/KgK and R = 0.28 KJ/KgK
Calculate
(i) The heat rejected in the inter-cooler(ii)
The diameter of HP cylinder and
(iii) The power required to drive HP cylinder13.The following data relate to a performance test of a single acting 14 cm x 10 cm
reciprocating compressor:
Suction pressure = 1 bar, Suction temperature =20oC, Discharge pressure = 6 bar, Discharge
temperature =180oC, Speed of the compressor = 1200 rpm, Shaft power =6.25 KW, Mass of
air delivered=1.7 Kg/min. Calculate

14.A food storage locker requires a refrigerating capacity of 50 KW. It works between acondenser temperature of 35
oC and an evaporator temperature of -10
oC. The refrigerant is
ammonia. It is sub cooled by 5oC before entering the expansion valve and dry saturated
vapour leaving the evaporator. Assuming a single cylinder, single acting compressor
operating at 1000 rpm with stroke equal to 1.2 times the bore. Determine
(i) The power required and(ii) The cylinder dimensions. Properties of ammonia are

15.Four cylinders, double acting air compressor is required to compress 25 m3/ min of air at 1bar and 25
oC to a pressure of 15 bar. Determine the size of motor required and the cylinder
dimensions if the following additional data is given: clearance volume=15%; L/D=1.2;
rpm=300; Mechanical efficiency=80%; Polytropic index n =1.35. Assume no pressure
changes in suction valves and that the air gets heated by 10oC during suction stroke.
