Example 26.8 A centrifugal compressor running at 1440 rpm, handles air at 101 kPa and 20°C and compresses it to a pressure of 6 bar isentropically. The inner and outer diameters of the impeller are 14 cm and 28 cm, respectively. The width of the blade at the inlet is 2.5 cm. The blade angles are 16° and 40 at entry and exit. Calculate mass-flow rate of air, degree of reaction, power input and width of blades at outlet.

16. Two pounds of air at 100 psia occupy 4 cu ft; the air is heated and expands at a constant pressure until its volume is increased 300. per cent; after that the air expands adiabatically to 50 psi, and finally its pressure is 1educed isochorically to 15 psi. Determine the changes of available and unavailable energy and of the entropy between the starting and final condi- tions. Assume the refrigerator temperature to be 70 F, and use everage specific heats for the temperature range involved.
