The setup has a single stage air compressor, an orifice air tank, pressure gauges, an energy meter to measure power use, and a temperature display to show temperatures at different points. The compressor is placed on an air receiver along with the motor, and it includes a pressure switch and a safety air relief valve. The system calculates isothermal and volumetric efficiency at different discharge pressures.
Experimental Objective
To calculate the volumetric efficiency.
To calculate isothermal efficiency.
To calculate compression ratio.
