Answer to Question #279916 in Physics for Gowtham

Question

The centrifugal air compressor of a gas turbine receives air

from the ambient atmosphere where the pressure is 1 bar and

the temperature is 300K. At the discharge of the compressor,

the pressure is 4 bar and the temperature is 480K and the

velocity is 100 m/s. The mass flow rate of air is 15kg/s. (a)

Determine the power required to drive the compressor and

(b) Explain why the given air exit temperature is more or less

than the reversible adiabatic compression temperature.
