Question: ( 3 0 pts . ) Air is compressed by an adiabatic compressor from 1 0 0 kPa and 2 0 C to 1 .

(30 pts.) Air is compressed by an adiabatic compressor from 100 kPa and 20C to 1.8 MPa
and 400C. Air enters the compressor through a 0.15 m 2 opening with a velocity of 30 m/s.
It exits through a 0.08-m2 opening. Use cp =1.026 kJ/kg-K and R =0.287 kPa-m3/kg-K.
a.(4 pts.) Calculate the specific volume at State 1(the inlet, in m 3/kg)
ANS: 0.84 m^3/kg
b.(4 pts.) Calculate the mass flowrate (kg/s)
ANS: 5.3 kg/s
c.(4 pts.) Calculate the specific volume at State 2(the outlet, in m 3/kg)
ANS: 1.073 m^3/kg
d.(4 pts.) Calculate the velocity at State 2(m/s)
ANS: 7.149 m/s
e.(4 pts.) Calculate the change in kinetic energy (kW)
f.(10 pts.) Calculate the require power input (kW)
