Question
In an air compressor, air flows steadily at the rate of 15kg/min. The air enters the compressor
at 5m/s with a pressure of 1bar and a specific volume of 0.5m3/kg. It leaves the compressor at
7.5m/s with a pressure of 7bar and a specific volume of 0.15m3/kg. The internal energy of the air
leaving the compressor is 165kJ/kg greater than that of the air entering. The cooling water in the
compressor jackets absorbs heat from the air at rate of 125kJ/s. Determine:
01:
1. Power required to drive the compressor
2. Ratio of inlet pipe diameter to outlet pipe diameter.
