interstage air
-
compression air
-
ambient air
-
unloaded air
Question 3
Question

Answer
-
1st stage cylinder volume to 2nd stage cylinder volume
-
inlet air temperature compared to discharge air temperature
-
capacity to displaced volume
-
isothermal compression compared to adiabatic compression
-

Question 4
Question
An air compression curve on a pressure-volume diaphragm will be:
Answer
-
pure polytropic
-
purely isentropic
-
purely isothermal
-
somewhere between constant pressure and constant volume
-
somewhere between adiabatic and isothermal
Question 5
Question
The clearance volume on an air compressor
Answer
-
has no effect on discharge capacity
-
has a direct effect on compressor capacity
-
varies with the speed of the compressor
-
must be large enough to prevent the cylinder overheating
-
is important in the event that there is moisture in the air being compressed
Question 6
Question
An air compressor at a significantly higher altitude compared to an air compressor at a lower altitude will deliver:
Answer
-
less volume of air
-
higher volume of air
-
less mass of air
-
more mass of air
-
an equal mass of air
Question 7
Question
The effect of moisture in a compressed air system is detrimental because:
Answer
-
it will lower the discharge air temperature
-
it will cause corrosion in the air piping
-
it will freeze in the winter
-
it will plug the actuators
-
it requires more power to compress the air
Question 8
Question
The term dewpoint is defined as
Answer
-
saturation pressure of the air
-
the temperature of the air when it begins to absorb moisture
-
relative humidity
-
the temperature of the air when water vapour begins to condense
-
none of the above

Question 11
Question
A reciprocating air compressor compared to a rotary air compressor is:
Answer
-
more efficient
-
less efficient

Question
A double-acting reciprocating compressor:
Answer
-
has more than one stage
-
may compress more than one fluid at a time
-
must utilize an intercooler
-
receives and discharges air at both ends of the cylinder
-
is of a dynamic axial design
