Question points:
parts. Show calculations and provide logical explanations wherever required.
Shown in the figure below is a compressor, connected to an aircooled heat exchanger. The compressor receives carbon dioxide from a source at kPa and K with negligible velocity. The leaves the compressor at kPa and K with a velocity of The then flows into a constantpressure heat exchanger, where it is cooled to K as it leaves the heat exchanger. The power input to the compressor is kW There is no heat loss from the compressor.
Please answer the following:
a What is the mass flow rate of in through the compressor?
b What is the rate of heat loss in kJ from as it flows through the he exchanger?
c If the cooling air enters the heat exchanger at at a mass flow rate of what is the temperature of air in as it leaves the heat exchanger? Ignore the kinetic energy effects in the heat exchanger.
Assume and air as ideal gases. Both the compressor and the heat exchanger are in steady state with negligible potential energy effects.
