🔍 Key Concepts

• clearance volume in a reciprocating (single-stage) compressor • Position of the piston at top dead center (TDC) vs bottom dead center (BDC) • All the small spaces where gas can remain when the piston is at the end of its compression stroke

💭 Think About

• First decide at which piston position clearance volume is measured: when the cylinder is most full of gas or when it is most compressed? • Think about all the places gas can still hide when the piston is as high as it can go—does it include spaces under valves and around the top ring? • Compare the options that mention TDC/BDC and ask: which one best describes the actual trapped gas volume left after the compression stroke?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that clearance volume is always associated with the end of the compression stroke (most compressed condition). • Check which answer choices include spaces under the valves and around the top piston ring, since gas trapped there is also part of clearance volume. • Eliminate any choice that uses BDC or ignores the small pockets where gas remains at TDC.
