![**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.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fcf2a1263-fec3-4869-8bfa-4033b87371db%2Fbce20a97-d1c0-41d2-8569-e5a792fd6034%2F4tqk24_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
