The clearance ratio for a single stage compressor lies between
4% and 10%
Let's look at the given options for the typical clearance ratio of a single stage compressor : 15% and 20% 1% and 2% 20% and 30% 4% and 10% The range of 1% to 2% is typically too low to be practical for most compressor designs, as it wouldn't provide sufficient space for valves and mechanical clearance.
The flow through a nozzle is regarded as
When the compressor and motor operate on the same shaft and are enclosed in a common casing, then it is known as __________.
The steady flow process work done is given by
Air flows steadily at the rate of 1 kg/s through an air compressor at 10 m/s, 100 kPa and 1 m3/kg and leaving at 6 m/s, 800 kPa and 0.2 m3/kg. The internal energy of the air leaving is 100 kJ/kg greater than the air entering. Cooling water in the compressor jacket absorbs heat from air at the rate of 100 kW. Find the rate of work done.
