Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a multistage compressor with specified inlet pressure (1 bar) and final pressure (5 bar). Calculate the ideal pressure ratio and explain how intercooling might affect work input.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Break down the calculations step by step, and consider the cooling effects.

Question 2

Given a compressor with k = 1.4 and clearance volume impacting efficiency, analyze how a change in clearance affects the total work required.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use formulas to reassess how energy loss is calculated due to altered clearance.
