Air enters the compressor of a gas turbine power plant at 96 kPa and 25 °C. It came out at 1 MPa, 327 °C and velocity of 120 m/s. Velocity at the entrance is small and can be ignored. The compressor is cooled at a rate of 1500 kJ/min. Compressor input power is 300 kW. Calculate the air mass flow rate and cross sectional area of the outlet. (R=0.287 kJ/kg.K, Cp=1.005 kJ/kg.K)

Question
Air enters the compressor of a gas turbine power plant at 96 kPa and 25 °C. It came out at 1
MPa, 327 °C and velocity of 120 m/s. Velocity at the entrance is small and can be ignored.
1.
The compressor is cooled at a rate of 1500 kJ/min. Compressor input power is 300 kW.
Calculate the air mass flow rate and cross sectional area of the outlet. (R=0.287 kJ/kg.K,
Cp=1.005 kJ/kg.K)
