1. a) Using T-S and PV diagram, compare work consumed by reciprocating 4

coinpressor - in isothennal and isentropic process. .Also derive
b ex~ression ~or isot~ermal efficiency.
) A single acting compressed air motor works·on compressed air at 10.5 4
bar absolute, and 37°C supplied at a rate of 1 kg/min. Cut-off takes
pl_ac~ at 25% of the stroke and expansion follows the adiabatic
fnct1onless law down to 1.01325 bar. Determine the rriean effective
pressure, indicative power and cylinder volume if the machines runs .at
2 50 r.p.m., neglect clearance. ·
