|Ans. 678 kW)
40. 15 kg of air per minute is delivered by a centrifugal compressor. The inlet and outlet conditions of air are :
C, = 10 m/s, p, = 1 bar, e, = 0.5 m'/kg and C, = 80 m/s,p, = 7 bar, u, = 0.15 m/kg. The increase in enthalpy
of air passing through the compressor is 160 kJ/kg. and heat loss to the surroundings is 720 kJ/min.
Assuming that inlet and discharge lines are at the same level, find :
(i) Motor power required to drive the compressor.
(i) Ratio of inlet to outlet pipe diameter.
Ans. (i) 52.78 kW (i 1
