Air is compressed in a well insulated compressor from 95 kPa and 27 C to 600 kPa and 277 C. Use the air tables; assume negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy. Find the isentropic efficiency of the compressor. Find the exit temperature of the air if the compressor was reversible.

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
