1.Atmospheric air enters a single stage screw compressor at 1 bar and 250C at  low velocity. The compressor element compresses the air to 3bar which exits  through a nozzle in which it expands to a velocity of 600m/s. Before the  7 compressed air exits the compressor, it is cooled by an after cooler. If the  work of compression is 240kj/kg of air; calculate a) The heat that needs to be taken away by the after cooler.  A pump is required to pump out water from a flooding pit at a rate of  1000L/min. With the aid of a well labeled diagram; b) What kind of pump is required for the operation and why?

Question

1.Atmospheric air enters a single stage screw compressor at 1 bar and 250C at 
low velocity. The compressor element compresses the air to 3bar which exits 
through a nozzle in which it expands to a velocity of 600m/s. Before the 
7
compressed air exits the compressor, it is cooled by an after cooler. If the 
work of compression is 240kj/kg of air; calculate
a) The heat that needs to be taken away by the after cooler. 

A pump is required to pump out water from a flooding pit at a rate of 
1000L/min. With the aid of a well labeled diagram;
b) What kind of pump is required for the operation and why?
