air behaves as an ideal gas with R = 0.287 k J k g K.

  1. A compressor operates at steady state and takes in air from ambient 0 kPa, gage and 300 K. The outlet pressure is 60 kPa, gage and 300 K. Determine:
    1. the mass flow rate if the inlet area is 10 cm2 and the inlet pressure is -3 kPa, gage.
    2. the minimum outlet temperature that is possible for this compressor.
    3. the isentropic efficiency of the compressor, assuming no heat loss.
    4. if there is a heat loss of 20 kJ/kg, the work required to run the compressor, and the new isentropic efficiency.

outlet is 500K

The volume of some air, assumed to be an ideal gas, in the cylinder of a car engine is 540cm^3 at a pressure of 1.1 x 10^5 Pa and a Temperature of 27 Degree celsius. The air is suddenly compressed, so that no thermal energy enters or leaves the gas, to a volume of 30cm^3. The pressure rises to 6.5 x 10^6 Pa. Determine the Temperature of the gas after compression.
