Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If a reciprocating compressor operates at an inlet pressure of 2 bar and reaches a final delivery pressure of 8 bar in two stages, calculate the intermediate pressure needed for optimal work.
💡 Hint: Recall the pressure ratio formula we discussed for two-stage compressors.
Question 2
Consider a scenario where the piston in a compressor is designed for a maximum pressure of 100 psi. If the inlet pressure is 20 psi, what should be the pressure ratio across the first stage to ensure minimal work?
💡 Hint: Think about how each stage should relate to maintain equal ratios for efficiency.
