Volumetric Efficiency:
The volumetric efficiency of a compressor is defined as the ratio of the actual volume sucked by the compressor at the inlet to the swept volume.
Calculation:
Given:
Bore diameter d = 150 mm = 0.15 m
Stroke length L = 200 mm = 0.2 m
ηvol = 85 %
Now, the volume of compressor chamber V1 =
Therefore, swept volume V2 = V1 × ηvol = 0.003534 × 0.85 = 0.003004 m3 = 3004 cm3
