Question: ( 1 1 ) Ans. - 7 5 0 kW Air is compressed at steady state from 1 b a r , 3 0 0

(11) Ans. -750 kW
Air is compressed at steady state from 1bar,300K, to 6 bar with a mass flow rate of 4kgs. Each unit of mass passing from inlet to exit undergoes a process described by pv1.27= constant. Heat transfer occurs at a rate of 46.95 kJ per kg of air flowing to cooling water circulating in a water jacket enclosing the compressor. If kinetic and potential energy changes of the air from inlet to exit are negligible, calculate the compressor power, in kW .
