Compressors Gas Dynamics and Gas Turbines - Engineering

Q1:

If p1 is the pressure of air entering the L.P, cylinder and p3 is the pressure of air leaving the H.P. cylinder, then the ratio of cylinder diameters for a single acting, two stage reciprocating compressor with complete intercooling is given by

A D1/D2 = (p1p3)1/2

B D1/D2 = (p1/p3)1/4

C D1/D2 = (p1p3)1/4

D D1/D2 = (p3/p1)1/4

ANS:D - D1/D2 = (p3/p1)1/4
