Compressor Air enters a compressor at 100 kPa, 280 K and is compressed to 600 kPa, 400 K in a steady state process. The volumetric flow of the air entering the compressor is 34 cfm (ft3/min). The compressor is experiencing a heat loss of 16 kJ/kg. Assuming that the changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible, determine the power required to run the compressor. = = 600 kPa 400 K P T 2 2 2 q = 16 kJ/kg W = = = 100 kPa 280 K 34 cfm P T V 1 1 1 1 dm dt 2 2 dE dt V V g g g g Q W + + + + + = 1 g 2 g G m h z m h z 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 c c c c sys = m m i e i e 4
