Question

A compressor receives 10kW of power at 600 rpm from a motor. What is the torque acting on the shaft connecting the motor and the compressor?

System :Compressor receiving power from a motor through a shaft

To find : Torque

Known :. Power = 10kW

2. Speed = 600 rpm 1.

  

Answer 1

Analysis

1. w = 2$\pi nt$

Rate of work transferred = 10x10³ KJ/s

speed

= 600 rpm

= 600 / 60 rps

= 10 rps

$Torque;$

$\therefore T=W/2\pi n$

$=10*1000/2\pi 10$

$=159.15N-m$
