Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines
If the clearance ratio for a reciprocating air compressor is 'K', then its volumetric efficiency is given by

1 + k - k (p₂/p₁)1/n
1 + k - k (p₂/p₁) n-1/n
1 - k + k (p₁/p₂)1/n
1 - k + k (p₁/p₂) n- 1/n

Pick up the false statement

Overall efficiency of gas turbine plant is lower than that of a reciprocating engine
Exhaust losses in gas turbine are high due to large mass flow rate
Gas turbine does not require huge quantity of water like steam plant
Gas turbine is a self starting unit

In the cross compounding of the gas turbine plant

Both the arrangements can be employed
H.P. compressor is connected to L.P. turbine and L.P. compressor is connected to H.P. turbine
H.P. compressor is connected to H.P. turbine and L.P. compressor to L.P. turbine
All are connected in series

Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines
If p₁, is the pressure of air entering the L.P. cylinder and p₂ is the pressure of air leaving the L.P. cylinder (or inter-cooler pressure), then the ratio of cylinder diameters for a single acting, two stage reciprocating air compressor with complete intercooling is given by (where D₁ = Dia. of L.P. cylinder, and D₂ = Dia. of H.P. cylinder)

D₁/D₂ = p₁ p₂
None of these
D₁/D₂ = p₁/p₂
D₁/D₂ = p₂/p₁
