The volumetric efficiency of a compressor
A. Increases with decrease in compression ratio
B. Decreases with decrease in compression ratio
C. Increases with increase in compression ratio
D. Decreases with increase in compression ratio
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The volumetric efficiency represents the efficiency of a compressor cylinder to compress gas. It may be defined as the ratio of the volume of gas actually delivered to the piston displacement, corrected to suction temperature and pressure.
