‘Air is compressed from 100 kPa and 22° C to a pressure of 1 MPs
while being cooled at the rate of 16 ki/kg by circulating water
through the compressor casing. The volume flow rate of air at inlet
condition is 150 m/min and power input to compressor is 500 kW.
Neglecting the gravitational potential energy, determine the mass
flow rate and the temperature of air at exit. @)
Air flows steadily at the rate of 0.4 kg/s through an air compressor,
entering at 6 m/s with a pressure of 1 bar and a specific volume of
0.85 mé/kg and leaving at 4.5 m/s with a pressure of 6.9 bar and a
specific volume of 0.16 m*/kg. The internal energy of air leaving is
88 ki/kg greater than that of the air entering. Cooling water in a
jacket surrounding the cylinder absorbs heat from the air at the
rate of 59 W. Calculate the power required to drive the compressor
and the inlet and outlet cross-sectional area. 8)
