🔍 Key Concepts

• Volumetric efficiency in a reciprocating air compressor (ratio of actual intake volume to theoretical displacement volume) • How leaks, clearance volume, and valve/head conditions affect the amount of air actually taken in each stroke • Difference between design parameters (like rated speed) and actual operating conditions (like density, temperature, leaks)

💭 Think About

• Which option would most directly reduce the actual volume of air that gets drawn in and compressed each stroke, compared to what the piston displacement suggests? • Think about how air leaks versus changes in inlet conditions (temperature, density) show up in the volumetric efficiency calculation. • Which factor represents a mechanical loss of air from the compression space during operation, not just a change in properties of the incoming air?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of volumetric efficiency: actual intake volume at suction conditions divided by piston displacement volume. • Ask yourself: which option describes a condition that causes loss of air charge inside the cylinder every cycle? • Verify whether each choice is about a design characteristic (fixed) or an operating fault/condition (variable and loss-producing).
