Answer to Question #263458 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for den

Question

Air flows steadily at the rate of 0.5 kg/s through an air compressor, entering at 7 m/s, 100

kPa, 0.95 m3

/ kg specific volume, and leaving at 5 m/s, 700 kPa, and 0.19 m3

/kg specific

volume. The internal energy of the air leaving is 90kJ/kg greater than that of the air

entering. Cooling water in the compressor jackets absorb heat from the air at the rate of

58 kJ/s. Calculate the work.
