Part a|

Given: Heat Loss = Qout = 50 kJ/kg

State1: Given: P1 = 30 kPa, x = 0.8 i.e 80% steam and 20% liquid; A1 = 50 cm2 and v1 = 1220 m/s.

This state is saturated mix state. From steam table or table A-5 of Cengel,

at P=30kPa, => Tsat = 69.09 C

at P=30kPa and saturated mixture condition => = 0.001022 m3/kg , =  5.2287m3/kg

Thus,

at P=30kPa and saturated mixture condition => hf= 289.27 kJ/kg , hg =  2624.6 kJ/kg

Thus, h1 = hf + 0.8*(hg-hf) = 2157.534 kJ/kg

State 2: Given:  P2 = 8.5 MPa, T2 = 600C; A2 = 120 cm2

The state is superheated state.From steam table or table A-6 of Cengel,

At P = 8 MPa and T = 600 C At P = 9 MPa and T = 600 C

h = 3642.4 kJ/kg h = 3634.1 kJ/kg

By interpolating we get the properties at  P = 8.5 MPa and T = 600 C

Part b|

At inlet, Volumetric flow rate of steam V = v1 *A1

Also,

Thus,

Mass fow rate of steam is 1.458 kg/s.

Part c|

Using equation of continuity for the compressor:

Thus the outlet velocity is 508.33 m/s.

Part d|

Given: Heat Loss = qout​ = 50 kJ/kg

The energy balance for the steady-flow system can be expressed in the rate form as

Putting all values in the above equation:

; ;

and qout​ = 50 kJ/kg

Thus, power input to compressor is 2231.784 kJ/kg.
