APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS TUTORIAL 2 GAS …

1 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS TUTORIAL 2 GAS COMPRESSORS In order to complete this TUTORIAL you should be familiar with gas laws and polytropic gas processes. You will study the principles of reciprocating compressors in detail and some principles of rotary compressors. On completion you should be able to the following. Describe the working principles of reciprocating compressors. Define and calculate swept volume. Define and calculate volumetric efficiency. Define and calculate isothermal efficiency. Define and calculate indicated power. Dtate the benefits of cooling. Calculate the heat rejected through cooling. Define and calculate the interstage pressures for multiple compressors.

• Axial turbine compressors. The function of all of them is to draw in air from the atmosphere and produce air at pressures substantially higher. Usually a storage vessel or receiver is used with the compressor. The same principles are applied to the compression of other gasses. This tutorial is mainly about reciprocating compressors.
