Question

.A compressor operates at steady state and takes in air from ambient 0 kPa, gage and 300 K. The outlet pressure is 50 kPa, gage and 400K. Determine: A. the

mass flow rate if the inlet area is 10 cm? and the inlet pressure is -2 kPa, gage. B. the minimum outlet temperature that is possible for this compressor. C. the isentropic efficiency of the compressor, assuming no heat loss. D. if there is a heat loss of 30 kJ/kg, the work required to run the compressor, and the new isentropic efficiency.
