A compressor draws in 500 cfm of air whose density is 0.079 lb/ft and discharges it with a density of 0.304 lb/ft. At the suction, p.-15 psia; at discharge, p-80 psia. The increase in the specific internal energy is 33.8 Btu/lb, and the heat from the air by cooling is 13 Btu/ Ib. Neglecting changes of potential and kinetic energy, determine the work done on the air in Btu/min and in hp.

A compressor draws in 0.25 m% of air whose density is 1.26 kg/m? and discharges it with a density of 4.87 kg/m°. At the suction, P, = 103.4 kPaa; at the discharge, P2 = 551.4 kPaa. The increase in the specific internal energy is 78.63 kJ/kg, and the heat from the air by cooling is 30.24 kJ/kg. Neglecting changes of potential and kinetic energy, determine the work on air in kW, BTU/min, and Hp.
A 90° elbow as shown in Figure Q2b is used to direct water flow at a rate of 30 kg/s in a horizontal pipe upward. The diameter of the pipe is 10 cm and the elbow discharges water into the atmosphere and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 35 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water is assumed to be negligible. i. Apply a proper form of energy conservation principle, determine the anchoring force needed to hold the pipe bend in place. ii. Then, recommend a suitable angle in between 20° to 120° from the flow direction to reduce the anchoring force. Justify your recommendation. Figure Q2b 35 cm Water 30 kg/s Figure Q2b
