• A single piston reciprocating air compressor has stroke length 400 mm with bore
300 mm and total volume 30,000 cm 3. The initial pressure is 100 kN/m 2 and air is
compressed polytropically to pressure 500 kN/m2. The polytropic index is 1.3.
Examine the change in actual work and effective swept volume if the compression
pressure changes to 600 kN/m2. Write conclusion of the answer and interpret the
on P-v diagram.
