A single-stage reciprocating air compressor has two double-acting cylinders each 46 cm dianeter and 36 cm stroke with piston rods of 50 mm dianeter. The intake and discharge pressures are 101.325kPaa and 445kPaa, respectively and the speed is 257rpm. If the volumetric efficiency is 78%, the mechanical efficiency 948 , and the isothermal compression efficiency is 66%, find: a) The metered flow per second b) The indicated power c) The power required to drive the compresso d) The adiabatic compression efficiency
