The compressed air requirements of a textile factory are met by a large compressor that draws in 0.6 m³/s air at atmospheric conditions of 20°C and 1 bar (100 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 84 percent, determine the power wasted in the transportation line. The roughness of a galvanized steel pipe is given to be ε = 0.00015 m. The dynamic viscosity of air at 60°C is = 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 Pin = Pin = P = Pline = 100 kPa (0.287 kPa-m³/kg-K) (20+273 K) Pline RTline = 1.189 kg/m³ 900 kPa (0.287 kPa-m³/kg-K) (60+273 K) The power wasted in the transportation line is 0.00483 = = = 9.417 kg/m³ kW.

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.
A steam turbine is to operate on a simple regenerative cycle. Steam is supplied dry saturated at 40 bar, and is exhausted to a condenser at 0.07 bar. The condensate is pumped to a pressure of 3.5 bar at which it is mixed with bleed steam from the turbine at 3.5 bar. The resulting water which is at saturation temperature is then pumped to the boiler. For the ideal cycle sketch the process on the T-s diagram and calculate, neglecting feed pump work,The amount of bleed steam required per kg of supply steamThe thermal efficiency of the plantThe specific steam consumption
