The mass flow rate through a centrifugal compressor is 1 kg/s. If air enters at 1 bar and 288k and leaves at 200 kN/m² and 370k, determine the power of the compressor. Take Cp = 1.103 kJ (kg.K), R = 287 kJ (kg.k)​

Respuesta :

We have that the power of the compressor is

[tex]H_p=24.242hp[/tex]

From the question we are told that:

Flow rate [tex]W=1kg/s[/tex]

inlet Pressure [tex]P_1=1 bar[/tex]

inlet Temperature [tex]T_1= 288k[/tex]

Outlet Temperature [tex]T_2= 370k[/tex]

Outlet Pressure [tex]P_2=200 kN/m^2=2bars[/tex]

[tex]Cp = 1.103 kJ[/tex]

[tex]R = 287 kJ (kg.k)​[/tex]

Generally, the equation for Adiabatic head  is mathematically given by

[tex]H=\frac{ZRT_1}{Cp-1/K}[\frac{P_2}{P_1}^{(Cp-1)/Cp}-1][/tex]

Where

[tex]Z=Compressibility\ factor[/tex]

[tex]Z=0.99[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]H=\frac{(0.99)(287)(288)}{(1.103)-1/(1.103)}[\frac{(200)}{(1)}^{((1.103)-1)/(1.103)}-1][/tex]

[tex]H=560925.5958 J/kg[/tex]

[tex]H=5.6*10^5J/kg[/tex]

Generally, the equation for centrifugal compressor power  is mathematically given by

[tex]H_p=\frac{WH}{E*33000}[/tex]

Where

E is efficiency (adiabatic)

[tex]E=70\%=0.7[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]H_p=\frac{(1)(5.6*10^5)}{0.7*33000}[/tex]

[tex]H_p=24.242hp[/tex]

In conclusion

The power of the compressor is

[tex]H_p=24.242hp[/tex]
