Volumetric efficiency of a compressor without clearance volume
A. Increases with increase in compression ratio
B. Decreases with increase in compression ratio
C. Is not dependent upon compression ratio
D. May increase/decrease depending on compressor capacity
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
A compressor's volumetric efficiency (V) is defined by the ratio of the actual volume of gas that it could suck if there was no such thing as clearance volume.Therefore, a compressor with less clearance volume should be more volumetrically efficient.

But, in the formula of the volumetric efficiency of an compressor depends on the pressure ratio ( compression ratio...)
