Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05 bar,
300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 48 m3/min and
exits at 12 bar, 400 K. Heat transfer occurs at a rate of 8 kW from
the compressor to its surroundings.
Assuming the ideal gas model for air and neglecting kinetic and
potential energy effects, determine the power input, in kW.

An air compressor is operating at a steady state. The air enters
at with a volumetric flow rate 1.2 m^3/s at 170 kPa and 22 degrees
celsius with negligible velocity and leaves at 1500 kPa with
velocity of 200 m/s. The power to the compressor is 60 kW and the
compressor is cooled at a rate of 15 kJ/kg. Determine the exit

Nitrogen (N2) at 1 bar, 300 K enters a compressor
operating at steady state and is compressed adiabatically to an
exit state of 16 bar, 750 K. The N2 is modeled as an

the rate of entropy production, in kJ/K per kg of N2
flowing, and the isentropic compressor efficiency.

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state with a
pressure of 14.7 lbf/in.2, a temperature of 70°F, and a volumetric
flow rate of 500 ft3/min. The air velocity in the exit pipe is 700

A compressor, operating at steady-state, increases the pressure
of an air stream from 1 bar to 10 bar while losing 4.2 kW of heat
to the surroundings. At the compressor inlet, the air is at 25o C
and has a velocity of 14 m/s. At the compressor outlet, the air is
at 350o C and has a velocity of 2.4 m/s. If the compressor inlet
has a cross-sectional area of 500 cm2 and the air behaves as an
ideal gas,...
