Air enters a two-stage compressor at 1 atm and 27c and is compressed to 15 atm such

that the pressure ratio across the first stage is 5. the steady mass flow rate is 0.2 kg/s.

between the two stages, the air is cooled at constant pressure to 57c. assume that the

compression process is isentropic. illustrate the process on p ? v and t ? s diagrams.

a) determine the power input to the compressor.

b) determine the rate of heat rejection during the cooling process and calculate the

associated rate of entropy change.

c) how much compressor power would be required for a single stage compression to 15

atm?

d) how much compressor power would be required if the single stage compression to 15

atm occured isothermally?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
