A chemicals company wants to optimize the power consumption of their air compressors. Their Design Engineers proposed to replace their Single-stage Adiabatic Compressors with the following: a. Isothermal Compressorb. Two-stage Compressor with intercoolingc. Four-stage Compressor with intercooling In order to justify the replacement, the percentage of the energy per mass (J/g) saved by each proposed compressor system should be calculated. Savings should be at least 40%. Determine which of the three proposed compressors will meet the criterion. The flow rate of air required is 600 ft3/min at 70 °F and 14.7 psi, which should be compressed to a final pressure of 2,000 psig. The relative molecular mass of the gas is 28, isentropic constant is 1.40, and density of air is 1.204 kg/m3.
