15 kg of air per minute is delivered by a centrifugal compressor. The inlet and outlet conditions of air are / C * l = 10 m/s, pl = 1 bar, v1=0.5 m3/kg and C2= 1 80 m/s , p2=7 bar, v2=0.15 m3/kg . The increase in enthalpy of air passing through the compressor is 60 kg/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. (ii) Ratio of inlet to outlet pipe diameter
