Chapter 7.13, Problem 190RP
Air enters a two-stage compressor at 100 kPa and 27°C and is compressed to 625 kPa. The pressure ratio across each stage is the same, and the air is cooled to the initial temperature between the two stages. Assuming the compression process to be isentropic, determine the power input to the compressor for a mass flow rate of 0.15 kg/s. What would your answer be if only one stage of compression were used?

The compressors of a production facility maintain the compressed-air lines at a (gage) pressure of 700 kPa at 1400-m elevation, where the atmospheric pressure is 85.6 kPa. The average temperature of air is 15°C at the compressor inlet and 25°C in the compressed-air lines. The facility operates 4200 h/yr, and the average price of electricity is $0.10/kWh.
Air (MW=29 g/mol) at 115.00 kPa and 285.00 is compressed steadily to 600.0 kPa. The mass flow rate of the air is 2.00 kg/s and a heat loss of 32.1 kW occurs during the process. You may assume that changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible, the temperature of the surroundings is 25 ∘C, and that the CP of air is 3.5 R. Given the compressor operates with a second law (reversible) efficiency of 0.60,calculate the following.
What is the actual work interaction term in kW?

required power input?

Determine the increase of kinetic energy of 1 lb of air produced by an isentropic expansion through the nozzlearrow_forwardIt is well-known that the temperature of a gas rises while it is compressed as a result of the energy input in the form of compression work. At high compression ratios, the air temperature may rise above the autoignition temperature of some hydrocarbons, including some lubricating oil. Therefore, the presence of some lubricating oil vapor in highpressure air raises the possibility of an explosion, creating a fire hazard. The concentration of the oil within the compressor is usually too low to create a real danger. However, the oil that collects on the inner walls of exhaust piping of the compressor may cause an explosion. Such explosions have largely been eliminated by using the proper lubricating oils, carefully designing the equipment, intercooling between compressor stages, and keeping the system clean. A compressor is to be designed for an industrial application in Los Angeles. If the compressor exit temperature is not to exceed 250C for safety consideration, determine the maximum…arrow_forward
