BREAKDOWN OF TMAs

OHMP - 1 - TMA Tutor Marked Assignment (1,2): This first TMA consists of 5 main questions with several parts of questions within each question covering all the themes of section 1
- Compressors and Compressor Systems.

Sample - Question 1

(a) Sketch a p - V diagram showing the following types of compression for a given mass of gas:

(i) adiabatic

(ii) isothermal

(iii) polytropic

(b) State which type of compression is the ideal for a gas compressor and explain why this cannot be achieved in practice.

Sample - Question 4

(a) With reference to a two-stage compressor explain what is meant by "an intercooler" and give three reasons for its use.

Explain, briefly, two methods of achieving intercooling.

(b) Sketch the associated two-stage p - V diagram with complete intercooling and compare it with the ideal theoretical p - V compression curve.
