For these problems, assume air behaves as an ideal gas withR=0.287kJkgK.

  1. A compressor operates at steady state and takes in air fromambient 0 kPa, gage and 200 K. The outlet pressure is 60 kPa, gageand 400 K. Determine:
    1. the mass flow rate if the inlet area is 20 cm2 and the inletpressure is -5 kPa, gage.
    2. the minimum outlet temperature that is possible for thiscompressor.
    3. the isentropic efficiency of the compressor, assuming no heatloss.
    4. if there is a heat loss of 20 kJ/kg, the work required to runthe compressor, and the new isentropic efficiency.
