Water is flowing in a compressor steadily at 20 kPa and 40 oC to 1.7 MPa and 500 oC. The power input to the compressor is determined to be 5 MW. The water enters the compressor at a height of 5 m and leaves at 10 m of height. The velocities of the water coming in and out of the compressor are 50 m/s and 180 m/s respectively. a) Determine the work input per unit mass for the water flowing through the compressor. b) Calculate required mass of flow rate of the water.
