Question

The compressed air requirements of a textile factory are met by a large compressor that draws in 0.6 m3ls air at atmospheric
conditions of 20°C and 1 bar (10o0 kPa) and consumes 300 kW electric power when operating. Air is compressed to a gage pressure of
8 bar (absolute pressure of 900 kPa), and compressed air is transported to the production area through a 30-cm-internal-diameter, 83-
m-long, galvanized steel pipe with a surface roughness of 0.15 mm. The average temperature of compressed air in the pipe is
60°C. The compressed air line has 8 elbows with a loss coefficient of 0.6 each. If the compressor efficiency is 88 percent, determine
the power wasted in the transportation line. The roughness of a galvanized steel pipe is given to be ɛ = 0.00015 m. The dynamic
viscosity of air at 60°C is u= 2.008 × 10-5 kg/m-s, and it is independent of pressure. The density of air listed in that table is for 1 atm.
The density at 20°C, 100 kPa and 60°C, 900 kPa can be determined from the ideal gas relation to be

Question 3.3 When the air with a pressure of 0.1 MPa and a specific volume of 0.8 m³/kg was provided into a compressor at a flow rate of 0.25 kg/s, its pressure became 0.7 MPa and its specific volume became 0.2 m³/kg. Through the compression, the specific internal energy was increased by 80 kJ/kg, and there was heat loss of 50 kJ/s to the environment. In this case, calculate the work [k]/s = kW] that the compressor did in unit time. Potential energy and kinetic energy can be negligible.
