Question: Problem # 2 : ( 5 0 pts . ) Air enters a compressor operating a steady state at 1 0 5 KPa and 1

Problem #2: (50 pts.)
Air enters a compressor operating a steady state at 105 KPa and 127 degrees Celsius, with a volumetric flow rate of 12m3min and exits at 1200 KPa and 277 degrees Celsius. Heat transfer occurs at a rate of 10 KW from the compressor to its surroundings. When the air goes out from the compressor, it goes into a mixing chamber heat exchanger with two inlets and one outlet working at 1200 Kpa . You want the air at the mixing chamber outlet to have a temperature of 127 degrees Celsius.
You are asked to determine:
a) Sketch a diagram of the devices used in the processes. 5 points
b) The power input needed by the compressor. 10 points
c) The mass flow of air that you must input at the second mixing chamber inlet at 27 Degrees Celsius. 15 points
d) Sketch the processes in a neat and labelled P-v and T-v diagrams. 20 points
