Q293
The volumetric efficiency of a compressor
A.
Increases with decrease in compression ratio
B.
Decreases with decrease in compression ratio
C.
Increases with increase in compression ratio
D.
Decreases with increase in compression ratio
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
The volumetric efficiency represents the efficiency of a compressor cylinder to compress gas. It may be defined as the ratio of the volume of gas actually delivered to the piston displacement, corrected to suction temperature and pressure.
