A reciprocating compressor draws in 500 cubic feet per minute of air whose density is 0.079 Ib/cu ft and discharges it with a density of 0.304 lb /cu ft. At the suction, p discharge, p = 80 psia. The increase in the specific internal energy is 33.8 Btu/lb. Determine the work on the air in Btu/min and in hp. Neglect change in kinetic energy. Ans. 56.25 hp 15 psia; at %3D

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
