Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Given:**
- **Steady State Compressor**
- **Inlet Pressure:** 15 lbf/in²
- **Inlet Volumetric Flow Rate:** 5 ft³/s
- **Air undergoes a Polytropic Process:** \(PV^{1.5} = \text{constant}\)
**Ask:**
- Determine the **Diameter (inches) of Exit Pipe**
- For an **Exit Pressure** of 160 lbf/in²
- And an **Exit Velocity** of 145 ft/s
The problem involves calculating the diameter of the exit pipe of a steady-state compressor. Key parameters include initial and exit conditions for pressure, volumetric flow rate, and velocity, under a defined polytropic process for the air passing through the compressor.
