Question
A compressor is to be used to draw air from the outdoors where the conditions are 26.5 C and 100.04 kPa. The desired volume flowrate is 0.28 cubic meter per second. The air will pass through a duct with a diameter of 14 cm. The vertical height of the duct is 11.7 m. If the efficiency is 88.0 %, determine the required power in W. Assume a friction factor of 0.023.

- please help mearrow_forward= (a) A centrifugal pump, with salt water as the working fluid, has the impeller blades rotating at 750 rpm. The fluid enters the blades in the radial direction, i.e. at an angle of α₁ = 0°, and exits the blades at an angle of 35° from the radial direction. i.e. α₂ = 35⁰. The inlet radius and blade width are r₁ 12.0 cm and b₁ = 18.0 cm, respectively. The outlet radius and blade width are 1₂ = 24.0 cm and b₂ = 16.2 cm, respectively.
