Estimation of Performance Characteristics on Air Compressor using Python Programming

Air Compressor is a pneumatic device, that has an important part in automotive enterprises and a plethora of modern industrial enterprises. The two-stage reciprocating air compressor converts the power into potential energy stored in compressed air. A Python is an object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. This programming language is used to reduce the time complexity and to get output with high accuracy.This paper conducts an Air Compressor (Reciprocating type) performance test and to find the Mechanical Efficiency, Volumetric efficiency, Isothermal Efficiency at various delivery pressures. A python code is written to get the performance test by taking the input reading values to get the output more accurate and less time-consuming. This code shows the output values in the table of calculations i.e.,(Actual volume of cylinder, Swept Volume, Volumetric Efficiency, Shaft power, Isothermal power, Isothermal Efficiency, Power input to motor, and Motor Efficiency) at each delivery pressure. At the end of the Table of calculations, the graph between various efficiencies(Ordinate) and Delivery pressure(abscissa) are drawn followed by the result which includes overall Volumetric, Motor, and Isothermal Efficiencies. The Executed code shows the output in just 1 second after providing the input values.
