3. Air enters a compressor at ambient conditions of 15 psia and 77°F with a low velocity and exits at 180 psia, 740°F, and 480 ft/s. The compressor is cooled by the ambient air at 77°F at a rate of 1800 Btu/min. The power input to the compressor is 450 hp. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of air, (b) the portion of the power input that is used just to over-come the irreversibilities, (c) the maximum amount of power input, and (d) the second-law efficiency o this compressor.

Step 1
Given Data
• Work inlet is: Win 400 hp 282.72 Btu/st
• Heat output is: - 1500 Btu/min=25 btu/s
Step 2
(a)
By using the energy balance equation
W + m (h₁ + 2) = + m (h₂ + ² )
W-Qm (h₂-h₁+¹²)............. ·(1)
Enthalpy and entropy at 15 psia and 60°F
h = 124.27 Btu/lbm
$10.59173 Btu/lbm R.
Enthalpy and entropy at
h₂260.97 Btu/lbm
$20.76964 Btu/lbm R
Step 3
Substitute values in expression (1)
282.72-25-m (260.97-124.27+350-0² (2007))
m 1.852 lbm/s
Thus the mass flow rate of the air is 1.852 lbm/s
150 psia and 620°F
(b)
By using the entropy balance equation
Sgen = m (82-81) +
(²)
The change in entropy is
52-51-0.76964-0.59173-R In ()
-0.76964 -0.59173 -0.06855 In (1)
-0.02007 Btu/lbm. R.
Step 4
Substitute values in expression (2)
Spew (1.852) (0.02007) +25
(60+460)
-0,0853 Btu/s R
The rate of exergy destruction is
x=Topen
=400
(60+460) (0,0853)
-44.656 Btu/sx 768 B
=63 hp
The portion of the power input is
-0.15
Thus the portion of the power input is 0.15
