It is given that 50 kg/sec of air at 288.2k is iesntropically compressed from 1 to 12 atm. Assuming a calorically perfect gas, determines the exit temperature and the compressor's input power.

Respuesta :

The exit temperature is 586.18K and  compressor input power is 14973.53kW

Data;

  • Mass = 50kg/s
  • T = 288.2K
  • P1 = 1atm
  • P2 = 12 atm

Exit Temperature

The exit temperature of the gas can be calculated isentropically as

[tex]\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^\frac{y-1}{y}\\ y = 1.4\\ C_p= 1.005 Kj/kg.K\\[/tex]

Let's substitute the values into the formula

[tex]\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^\frac{y-1}{y} \\\frac{T_2}{288.2} = (\frac{12}{1})^\frac{1.4-1}{1.4} \\ T_2 = 586.18K[/tex]

The exit temperature is 586.18K

The Compressor input power

The compressor input power is calculated as

[tex]P= mC_p(T_2-T_1)\\P = 50*1.005*(586.18-288.2)\\P= 14973.53kW[/tex]

The compressor input power is 14973.53kW
