Question

There are required 2000 kW of compressor power to handle air adiabatically
from 1 atmosphere, 27 oC, to 305 kPaa. The initial air velocity is 20 m/s and the final
velocity is 85 m/s.

a) If the compression is isentropic, find the compressor capacity, in
m3/s.

b) If the compression process is irreversible adiabatic to a temperature of 160 oC,
with the capacity found in

c), determine the compressor power input, in Hp.
