The simple reciprocating air compressor has a piston which reciprocates inside the
cylinder wall and cylinder head. The piston is attached to the crankshaft with the help of
a connecting rod and thus the rotation of the crankshaft causes the piston to move up
and down inside the cylinder. The crankshaft is mounted on the crank case. The
cylinder head contains valve pockets where the suction and delivery valve are fixed.
These suction and delivery valves are of simple pressure differential types. They open
and close, due to the pressure difference on either side of the valve plates.
1. When the compressor stops or idles for some time, it is always assumed that there is
some residual compressed air left in the cylinder space. This residual air expands when
the piston moves down. The pressure drops in the cylinder space at a particular point as
the piston moves down, where the pressure inside the cylinder becomes lesser than the
atmospheric pressure. Thus this difference in pressure makes the suction or inlet valve
open.
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
2. This opening of inlet valve allows fresh air to be drawn inside the cylinder space as
the piston still continues to move in the downward direction. The inlet valve will remain
open till there is pressure difference between the atmosphere and inside of the cylinder
space. As the pressure difference starts to reduce, the inlet valve starts slowly closing.
The inlet valve closes completely when there is no pressure difference and then the
piston reaches bottom dead center (BDC), and it starts to travel in an upward direction.
At this position, both the inlet and delivery valve remains closed. Thus as the piston
moves up, the pressure starts to build inside the cylinder space.
3. The delivery valve starts to open when there is a pressure difference between the
cylinder space and air receiver. Let us assume the air receiver is at a pressure of 7 bar.
The delivery valve will not open until the pressure inside the cylinder space is slightly
above 7 bar. As the piston moves in upward direction, the pressure increases and at
some point the pressure grows beyond 7 bar making the delivery valve open. Thus the
compressed air is delivered into the air receiver.
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
4. As the piston reaches top, the pressure starts to fall and the delivery valve starts to
close. The residual compressed air remaining in the space again starts to expand as the
piston moves down continuing the next cycle.
4-1:
The air compressor draws in air from the atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure is P1.
The initial volume when the piston is at top is zero (Assuming there is no bumping
clearance). Thus as the piston moves from top to bottom, a volume of air V1 is drawn
into the compressor. The temperature of air is T1.
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
1-2:
As the piston moves up, the air is compressed polytropically (PV^n= C). The pressure of
air increases from P1 to P2. The volume decreases from V1 to V2. The temperature
increases from T1 to T2.
2-3:
The compressed air at the pressure P2, volume V2 and temperature T2 is delivered out
of the compressor to the air receiver.
Referring to the diagram, at point 4, when the clearance air has reduced to the
atmospheric pressure, the inlet valve will not open immediately. The pressure drops
lower than the atmospheric pressure and the inertia of the valves are overcome by the
pressure difference. Thus the valve is forced open by the atmospheric air and it rushes
into the cylinder chamber. There is a valve bounce and the pressure does not remain
constant inside the cylinder. The pressure slightly increases and then decreases after
which reaches somewhat steady intake of air. This negative pressure difference is
called as the Intake Depression.
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
The same occurs at the point 2, where the delivery valve delays to open. The
compressed air pressure inside the cylinder of compressor reaches a pressure slightly
more than the air receiver pressure. The delivery valve then opens causing a slight
decrease in pressure but always above the air receiver pressure enabling the
compressor to deliver air. Then it reaches a stable point after some Valve Bounce and
then reaches point 3 where the delivery valve closes to continue its cycle. Thus in
practice, the compressor requires more power to compensate for the additional work
done due to the depressions in delayed opening of the valves.
Refer to the enclosed diagram, the single stage air-compressor is compressing from
pressure P1 to Pressure P2, completing the cycle 1234, where 3-4 is the clearance air
expansion. Also V1-V4 is the effective swept volume or the effective volume where the
fresh air from atmosphere is sucked in. The mass of air flowing through the compressor
is controlled by this effective swept volume V1-V4.
If any restriction is placed on the delivery of the air compressor, for example: the
discharge valve throttled, then the delivery pressure of the air compressor increases.
From the diagram, let us say the new delivery pressure is P5. Then the operating cycle
will be 1567, where 6-7 is the clearance expansion of air and the effective swept volume
is V1-V7. Thus it is evident that the effective swept volume (V1-V4) is more than (V1V7). Thus when the delivery pressure of the single-stage air compressor is increased,
the effective swept volume is reduced.
If the delivery pressure is further increased (assuming the compressor is so strong to
work), the delivery pressure reaches P8, and the compression follows the curve 1-8,
where there will be no delivery of compressed air. Thus when the delivery pressure of a
single-stage compressor is increased, the mass flow rate also increases.

www.Vidyarthiplus.com
Since the delivery pressure increases, the associated temperature also increases. Thus
the temperature of the air after compression is so high as to cause mechanical
problems and the amount of heat is actually theenergy loss.

Refer to the diagram of a multi-stage compressor, where it is evident that the work done
by the compressor is less when compared to a single-stage machine for same delivery
pressure.
Practical Understanding of Multi-stage Compressor
Thus when calculated using the above expression, T2= 450 degree Celsius. Thus it is
evident that the delivery temperature of compressed air is 450 degree Celsius.
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
www.Vidyarthiplus.com
As the pressure of compression increases, the cylinder diameter decreases. The mass
flow rate or the amount of air passing through each stage is same. Thus as the pressure
increases with the same mass flow rate, the volume occupied by air must reduce. This
is accomplished by reducing the diameter and thus the volume of the cylinder.

the hot water at 55C. The tank is located in a small room whose average temperature i 27C,
and the heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the heater are 50 and 12
W/m2 C, respectively. The tank is placed in another 46-cm-diameter sheet metal tank of
negligible thickness, and the space between the two tanks is filled with foam insulation (k
=0.03 W/m C). The thermal resistances of the water tank and the outer thin sheet metal
shell are very small and can be neglected. The price of electricity is $0.08/kWh, and the home
owner pays $280 a year for water heating. Determine the fraction of the hot water energy cost
of this household that is due to the heat loss from the tank. Hot water tank insulation kits
consisting of 3-cm-thick fiberglass insulation (k = 0.035 W/m C) large enough to wrap the
entire tank are available in the market for about $30. If such an insulation is installed on this
water tank by the home owner
himself, how long will it take for this additional insulation to pay for itself?s

which is less than the critical radius of insulation. Therefore, doubling the thickness of plastic
cover will increase the rate of heat loss and decrease the interface temperature.

UNIT- IV CONVECTION
1. What is dimensional analysis?
Dimensional analysis is a matehematical technique which make use of the study of
the dimensions for solving seferal engineering problems.
2. Define free convection
If the fluid motion is produced due to change in density resulting from temperature
gradient, the mode is said to be natural convection.
3. What is forced convection?
If the fluid motion is artificially created by means of external force like a blower or
fan that type of heat transfer is know as forced convection.
4. What are the advantages of dimensional analysis?
It express the functional relationship between the variables in dimensional terms
It enable getting up a theoretical solution in a simplified dimensional form
5.What are the factors changes the thickness of boundary layer?
Turbulence in the ambient flow
Surface roughness, Pressure gradient
Viscosity of the fluid and temperature difference between the surface and fluid
6. What is meant by Newtonian and Non-Newtonian flow?
The fluid, which obeys Newtons law of viscosity, is called Newtonian flow and other
type of fluid is called Non-Newtonian flow.
7. Define hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layer.
In hydrodynamic boundary layer the velocity of flow is less than 99% of free stream
velocity.

of the tank is measured to be 20C. Assuming the inner wall of the steel tank to be at 0C,
determine (a) the rate of heat transfer to the iced water in the tank and (b) the amount of ice
at 0C that melts during a 24-h period.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist 2 The surfaces are opaque, diffuse, and
gray.
Properties The emissivities of both surfaces are given to be 1 = 2 = 0.15.
Analysis (a) Assuming the conduction resistance s of the walls to be negligible, the rate of
heat transfer to the iced water in the tank is determined to be
