Thermodynamics:
Air is compressed in a frictionless steady-flow process from 70kN/m² , –29 °C and a specific volume of
1 m3 /kg to 100 kN/m² in such a manner that p(v + 0.5) = constant ,where v is in m3 /kg. Inlet
velocity is negligibly small and discharge velocity is 100 m/s. The flow rate is 0.2 kg/s. Calculate the work
required in kW.
Answer: - 5.49 kW
Methane enters a compressor at 14 psia with a very low velocity and is compressed to 55 psia. The
entering methane has a density of 0.04 lbm/ft3. The methane leaves the compressor with a velocity of
250 fps. The flow rate is 0.38 Ibm/s. Assuming a quasi-equilibrium process in which pv1.33 = constant,
calculate the work done on the methane in hp.
Answer: -57.4 hp
