An air compressor compresses 15 L/s of air at 120 kPa and 20 degree C to 800 kPa and 300 degree C while consuming 6.2 kW of power. How much of this power is being used to increase the pressure of the air versus the power needed to move the fluid through the compressor?
The compressors of a production facility maintain the compressed-air lines at a (gauge) pressure of 700 kPa at sea level where the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The average temperature of air is 20°C at the compressor inlet and 24°C in the compressed-air lines. The facility operates 4200 hours a year, and the average price of electricity is $0.078/kWh. Taking the compressor efficiency to be 0.8, the motor efficiency to be 0.92, and the discharge coefficient to be 0.65, determine the energy and money saved per year by sealing a leak equivalent to a 3-mm-diameter hole on the compressed-air line.
An air compressor compresses 6 L of air at 120 kPa and 20°C to 1000 kPa and 400°C. Determine the flow work, in kJ/kg, required by the compressor.

- A pump is used to raise the pressure of a stream of water from 10 kPa to 0.7 MPa. The temperature of the water is the same at the inlet and outlet and equal to 20°C.

Initially, the internal energy of the fluid is 1500 kJ and volume is 2m3. During the cooling process, the fluid loses 400 kJ of heat, and the paddle wheel does 100 kJ of work on the fluid. At the end, volume reduces to 0.5m3. Pressure remains constant. Determine the final internal energy of the fluid. Neglect the energy stored in the paddle wheel.arrow_forwardRefrigerant-134a enters an adiabatic compressor at 15 psia and 20°F with a volume flow rate of 10 ft3 /s and leaves at a pressure of 100 psia.
