Air flows steadily at the rate of 0.5 kg/s through an compressor, entering at 7 m/s speed, 100 kPa pressure and 0.95 m3/kg specific volume, and leaving at 5 m/s, 700 kPa, and 0.19 m3/kg. The internal energy of the air leaving is 90 kJ/kg greater than that of the air entering. Cooling water in the compressor jackets absorbs heat from the air at the rate of 58kW. Compute the compressor work in kW.

Question

Air flows steadily at the rate of 0.5 kg/s through an compressor, entering at 7 m/s
speed, 100 kPa pressure and 0.95 m3/kg specific volume, and leaving at 5 m/s, 700
kPa, and 0.19 m3/kg. The internal energy of the air leaving is 90 kJ/kg greater than
that of the air entering. Cooling water in the compressor jackets absorbs heat from
the air at the rate of 58kW. Compute the compressor work in kW.
