Answer:
a) 1.9%
b) T2s = 505.5 k = 232.5°C
Explanation:
P1 = 95 kPa
T1 = 27°C = 300 k
P2 = 600 kPa
T1 = 277°c = 550 k
Table used : Table ( A - 17 ) Ideal gas properties of air
a) determining the isentropic efficiency of the compressor
Л = ( h2s - h1 ) / ( h2a - h1 ) ---- ( 1 )
where ; h1 = 300.19 kJ/kg , T1 = 300 K , h2a = 554.74 kJ/kg , T2 = 550 k
To get h2s we have to calculate the the value of Pr2 using Pr1(relative pressure)
Pr2 = P2/P1 * Pr = ( 600 / 95 ) * 1.306 hence; h2s = 500.72 kJ/kg
back to equation1
Л = 0.019 = 1.9%
b) Calculate the exit temperature of the air if compressor is reversible
if compressor is reversible the corresponding exit temperature
T2s = 505.5 k = 232.5°C
given that h2s = 500.72 kJ/kg
