    Which of the following statements is not correct for the volumetric efficiency of a reciprocating air compressor?

    A) It decreases with increase in ambient temperature

    B) It increases with decrease in pressure ratio

    C) It increases with decrease in clearance ratio

    D) It decreases with increase in delivery pressure

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{\eta }_{v}}=1+c-c{{\left( \frac{{{p}_{2}}}{{{p}_{1}}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{n}}}=\frac{{{p}_{1}}{{T}_{0}}}{{{p}_{0}}{{T}_{1}}}\left[ 1+c-c{{\left( \frac{{{p}_{2}}}{{{p}_{1}}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{\eta }}} \right]\] \[{{\eta }_{v}}\] decreases as \[\left( \frac{{{p}_{2}}}{{{p}_{1}}} \right)\] ratio increases.
