Clearance factor in compressor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Clearance Factor = Clearance Volume/Piston Displacement Volume
C = V_c/V_p
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) - Clearance Volume is the volume remaining above the piston of an engine when it reaches top dead center.
Piston Displacement Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Piston Displacement Volume is the volume swept by the piston when it moves from its top or inner dead position to bottom or outer dead center position.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Clearance Volume: 0.1 Cubic Meter --> 0.1 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Piston Displacement Volume: 10 Cubic Meter --> 10 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = V_c/V_p --> 0.1/10

Evaluating ... ...

C = 0.01

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.01 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.01 <-- Clearance Factor
