Question

A three stage, single-acting air compressor  with a polytropic index of 1.22 in all stages, runs in an atmosphere at 101.3 kPa and 25°C. It has a FAD of 4.2 m^3/min with a delivery pressure of 1.8 MPa. Induction occurs at 92 kPa and 34°C. The mechanical and motor-drive efficiencies are 80% and 93% respectively. Assume  complete inter-cooling and neglect clearance volume.

Cp= 1.006 kJ/kg K 

Cv= 0.717 kJ/kg K

1) calculate the input power required from an electric motor?

2) which figure represents the diagram for the process?
