Question:
To provide 1 kg/s of air from 100kpa and 37C to 1000kpa, a two stage reciprocating air compressor is needed. The compressor runs at 302rpm, the compression and expansion processes are polytropic (n=1.33), and both cylinders have a 5.5% clearance. The intercooler has a pressure drop of 15 kpa. The low pressure cylinder discharges into the intercooler at the optimal pressure. At 25 degrees Celsius, air enters the high-pressure cylinder. The intercooler is water cooled, with water entering at 291 degrees Celsius and exiting at 301 degrees Celsius. Find the quantity of H2O needed by the intercooler in liters per minute considering a 100% heat transfer efficiency.
