Question

An aircraft is flying at a cruising speed of 250 m/s at an altitude of 5000 m where the atmospheric pressure is 54.05 kPa and the ambient air temperature is 255.7 K. The ambient air is first decelerated in a diffuser before it enters the compressor. Approximating both the diffuser and the compressor to be isentropic, determine (a) the stagnation pressure at the compressor inlet and (b) the required compressor work per unit mass if the stagnation pressure ratio of the compressor is 8.
