Question

Compressor definitions: identify the correct efficiency term.  Definition target: the ratio of free air delivery (at standard condition) per stroke to the piston's swept volume. Select the correct name of this ratio.

Accepted Answer

Given Ratio = (Free air delivered per stroke at NTP)/(Swept volume of piston). Concept This ratio measures how effectively the cylinder volume is filled with air referenced to standard conditions; the standard term is volumetric efficiency. Final An…
