The mass flow rate through a centrifugal compressor is 1 kg/s. If air enters at 1 bar and 288k and leaves at 200 kN/m² and 370k, determine the power of the compressor. Take Cp = 1.103 kJ (kg. K), R = 287 kJ (kg. k)​

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
