Clearance factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Clearance Factor = Clearance Volume/(Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Clearance Volume)
C = V_c/(V₁-V_c)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Clearance Factor - Clearance factor is the ratio of clearance volume to the piston displacement volume.
Clearance Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The clearance volume is the volume remaining above the piston of an engine when it reaches top dead center.
Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor is the volume of refrigerant in compressor before compression.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Clearance Volume: 1.86 Cubic Meter --> 1.86 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor: 3.36 Cubic Meter --> 3.36 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = V_c/(V₁-V_c) --> 1.86/(3.36-1.86)

Evaluating ... ...

C = 1.24

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.24 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.24 <-- Clearance Factor

Clearance factor Formula

LaTeX Go

Clearance Factor = Clearance Volume/(Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Clearance Volume)
C = V_c/(V₁-V_c)

What is the effect of clearance volume in compressor?

The expansion of this trapped air in the clearance volume causes effective loss of stroke due to which the volumetric efficiency of the compressor drops. Therefore, the clearance volume has a significant effect on the efficiency of the compressor.

How to Calculate Clearance factor?

Clearance factor calculator uses Clearance Factor = Clearance Volume/(Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Clearance Volume) to calculate the Clearance Factor, Clearance factor formula is defined as a measure of the efficiency of a chromatography column, which represents the ratio of the volume of the column available for solute molecules to the total volume of the column. Clearance Factor is denoted by C symbol.

How to calculate Clearance factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Clearance factor, enter Clearance Volume (V_c) & Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor (V₁) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Clearance factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.24 = 1.86/(3.36-1.86).

FAQ

What is Clearance factor?

Clearance factor formula is defined as a measure of the efficiency of a chromatography column, which represents the ratio of the volume of the column available for solute molecules to the total volume of the column and is represented as C = V_c/(V₁-V_c) or Clearance Factor = Clearance Volume/(Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Clearance Volume). The clearance volume is the volume remaining above the piston of an engine when it reaches top dead center & Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor is the volume of refrigerant in compressor before compression.

How to calculate Clearance factor?

Clearance factor formula is defined as a measure of the efficiency of a chromatography column, which represents the ratio of the volume of the column available for solute molecules to the total volume of the column is calculated using Clearance Factor = Clearance Volume/(Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Clearance Volume). To calculate Clearance factor, you need Clearance Volume (V_c) & Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor (V₁). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Clearance Volume & Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
