Q.1: (60 Pt.) Air flows steadily at a rate of 0.5 kg/s through an air compressor. It enters the compressor at a velocity of 6 m/s with a pressure of 1 bar and specific volume of 0.85 m/kg and leaves at a velocity of 5 m/k with a pressure of 7 bar and specific volume of 0.16 m/kg. The internal energy of the air leavingis 90 kJ/kg greater than that of air entering (u-u1 = 90 kJ/kg). Cooling water in a jacket surrounding the cylinder absorbs heat from the air at a rate of 60 kJ/s. Answer the following; a. What are the main assumptions b. Calculate the power required to drive the compressor, in kJ/kg? c. Calculate the inlet and outlet cross-sectional areas? Air in - Air out Air compressor

Transcribed Image Text:Q.1: (60 Pt.)
Air flows steadily at a rate of 0.5 kg/s through an air compressor. It enters the compressor at a velocity
of 6 m/s with a pressure of 1 bar and specific volume of 0.85 m/kg and leaves at a velocity of 5 m/s
with a pressure of 7 bar and specific volume of 0.16 m/kg. The internal energy of the air leaving is
90 kJ/kg greater than that of air entering (u-u1 = 90 kJ/kg). Cooling water in a jacket surrounding the
cylinder absorbs heat from the air at a rate of 60 kJ/s. Answer the following;
a. What are the main assumptions
b. Calculate the power required to drive the compressor, in kJ/kg*
c. Calculate the inlet and outlet cross-sectional areas?
