Question
a) Certain type of motor is used to drive a compressor so that 100 kPa, 280 K of air is compressed
steadily to 600 kPa, 400 K. Considering two different types of motor as below:
Air Flow Rate
0.03 kg/s
0.045 kg/s
Heat loss
Motor X
45.6 kJ/kg
57 kJ/kg
Motor Y
Assuming the changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible, evaluate the use of
which motor is more preferable with the consideration of the work input that has to be supplied
to the system.
