Air flows steadily through an air compressor at a rate of 28 kgxmin-1 with a velocity of 12 mxs-1 at 150 kPa and a specific volume of 0.96 m3xkg"
1. The internal energy of the air leaving the compressor is 95 kJ*kg-1 greater than that of the air entering. The air leaves at a velocity of 7 mxs-1,
700 kPa and a specific volume of 0.30 m xkg-1. Cooling water in the compressor jackets absorbs heat from the air at the rate of 55 kw. Calculate:
a. The rate of shaft work in kW.
b. The ratio of inlet pipe diameter to outlet pipe diameter.
