Question: Problem 0 3 3 . 1 A centrifugal compressor handles 6 0 0 k g m i n of air. The ambient conditions are 1

Problem 03
3.1 A centrifugal compressor handles 600kgmin of air. The ambient
conditions are 1 bar & 27C. The compressor runs at 18000 rpm with
an isentropic efficiency of 80%. Air is compressed from 1 bar static to
4 bar total pressure. The air enters the eye of the impeller with a velocity
of 150ms. Take the ratio of whirl speed and tip speed as 0.9. Determine
3.1.1 Rise in total temperature during compression, if change KE=0
3.1.2 Tip diameter at the impeller and Eye diam, if hub diam is 10 cm .
