Calculations

Air Compress calculation: -

Given: - Unload Pressure = 10kg/cm2
Load Pressure = 8kg/cm2
Tank Volume = 104ltr = 3.64 Cu ft (cubic feet)
1ltr = 0.035 cu ft
Time = 12 sec
Solution : -
P= Unload Pressure – Load Pressure
= 10 – 8
= 2 kg/cm2
1kg/cm2 = 0.968 atm
∴ 2 kg/cm2 = 1.936 atm
Finding Free Air Delivery
𝑉∗∆𝑃∗60
FAD = 𝑇
3.64∗1.936∗60
= 12

= 35.23 CFM

As We know that 1 CFM = 0.000471 m3/sec

∴ FAD = 0.0164 m3/sec

T1 = Ambient Temperature 28 ℃
ρ1 = 1.17 kg/m3 at 28℃
P1 = Inlet pressure of air to compressor in N/mm2
= 1.01325 bar
= 101325 N/mm2
𝑚𝑖̇ = e*v
= 1.17 * 0.0164
= 0.0192 kg/sec
Air Free Delivery Pressure
P2 = 5kg/cm2 = 5 bar
= 500000 N/mm2
Calculations
T2 = 35℃ = 35 + 273k = 308k
R = 287 N-mkg/k
P2*V =m*R*T2

PiV i= mi*R*Ti
101325∗0.00339
mi = 287∗301

mi = 0.00398 kg/sec

Substituting Value of mi in equation (1)

mc = 0.375 * 0.00398

mc = 0.0014625

Refrigeration effect (Qc) = mc * Cp * Tc

= 0.0052 * 1.005 *103 *32

(Qc) = 47.034 Watt
