Which one is steady flow compressor?
Reciprocating compressor
Can the suction valves and discharge valve on a reciprocating compressor be open at the same time?
No, the suction valves and discharge valves on a reciprocating compressor should not be open at the same time. If both valves are open simultaneously, it can lead to inefficient operation, potential damage to the compressor, and a loss of pressure. The design of the compressor relies on the sequential opening and closing of these valves to ensure proper gas flow and compression cycles.
Define the term negative slip in reciprocating pump?
When the actual flow (Qa) is greater than theoretical flow (Qt) in a reciprocating pump it is negetive slip.
What is the difference between centrifugal compressor and screw compressors?
A rotary compressor is like a car engine, with pistons, rods, sleeves, valves, etc. A screw compressor has two screw type rotating parts that squeeze the refrigerant as the screw threads get tighter and tighter. They have long life potential.
How flow is continuous in single acting reciprocating pump?

What is relation between mass flow rate and discharge pressure in reciprocating compressor?
The mass flow rate and discharge pressure in a reciprocating compressor are directly related. As the discharge pressure increases, it can result in a higher mass flow rate through the compressor. This relationship is important for determining the performance and efficiency of the compressor in various operating conditions.
On a reciprocating compressor what would be a higher than normal temperature on the discharge gas line?
A higher-than-normal temperature on the discharge gas line of a reciprocating compressor could indicate issues such as low refrigerant charge, restricted flow in the system, or a failing discharge valve. It is important to address these issues promptly to prevent damage to the compressor and ensure efficient operation of the system.
Why reciprocating compressor is called positive displacement compressor?
A reciprocating compressor is called a positive displacement compressor because it works by trapping a volume of gas and then reducing the volume to increase the pressure. This process ensures a constant flow rate and is based on the principle of displacing a fixed amount of gas with each stroke of the piston, hence the term "positive displacement."
What does antisurge valve do in compressors?
The compressor antisurge valve opens to bypass flow from discharge to suction. This allows the compressor to flow through bypass and keeps the compressor from surging (reverse flow thru compressor). The discharge pressure does not continue to build due to closed discharge conditions.
What is stalling in compressor?
Damage of the blades of the compressor ,cauesd due high angles of pressure ,caused by air flow is called stalling of a compressor

What is surge limit in cetrifugal compressor?
Surge Limit is the Minimum Flow Point ( in the compressor characteristic curve ) below which the compressor operation become instable. If the flow-rate is reduced, the pressure developed by the compressor decreases. Then, the pressure in the discharge line becomes greater , and the gas flow back into the compressor. As soon as the pressure in the discharge line drops to below that developed by the compressor, the gas again flows in the discharge line. Then, the cycle repeats. The oscillating pressure and flow rate will cause audible vibrations and shocks, and could damage the compressor blades, seals, and other components. Therefore, the compressor requires an antisurge control system to limit the flow rate at a minimum point, safely away from the surge limit.
What is the difference between a single acting reciprocating pump and a double acting reciprocating pump?
it runs without fluctuation i.r continuous flow......
