PROBLEM I
- An oil pump in a jet engine takes oil from a sump (reservoir) at 47.0 C and 0.950 bar and raises the pressure to 10.0 bar with an outlet temperature of 48.0 C . At these conditions, the oil has a density of \(885\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\) and a specific heat of \(1.95\mathrm{~kJ}/(\mathrm{kg}\mathrm{K})\). Assume the pump is adiabatic and the oil is incompressible. Determine the power (in Watts) required to operate the pump if the oil flow rate is 120 liters/hour.
