Unit I
Air Compressors: Introduction: Classification of Air
Compressors; Application of compressors and use of compressed air in
industry and other places; Complete representation of compression
process on P-v and T-s coordinates with detailed description of areas
representing total work done and polytropic work done; Areas
representing energy lost in internal friction Energy carried away by
cooling water and additional flow work being done for un-cooled and
cooled compression on T-S coordinates;
Best value of index of compression; Isentropic, polytropic and isothermal
efficiencies and their representation in terms of ratio of areas
representing various energy transfers on T-s coordinates.
Unit II Reciprocating Air Compressors: Single stage single acting
reciprocating compressor (with and without clearance volume):
construction, operation, work input and best value of index of
compression, heat rejected to cooling medium, isothermal, overall
thermal, isentropic, polytropic, mechanical efficiency,
Clearance Volumetric efficiency, Overall volumetric efficiency, effect of
various parameters on volumetric efficiency, free air delivery; Multistage
compressors: purpose and advantages, construction and operation, work
input, heat rejected in intercoolers, minimum work input, optimum
pressure ratio; isothermal, overall thermal, isentropic, polytropic and
mechanical efficiencies; Performance curves.
