! Energy-saving opportunities are present everywhere in compressed air systems, it justtakes minimal effort to recognize where energy can be saved. However, it takes concertedefforts to ensure that these energy savings can be maintained. The higher the pressureused in compressed air systems or application equipment, the more cost goes intoproducing this pressure.(a)With aid of a diagram, compare the working principle between the lobecompressors and sliding-vane compressors.

As shown in the figure, air with a volumetric flow rate of 14,000 ft3/min enters an air-handling unit at 80oF, 1 atm. The air-handling unit delivers air at 45oF, 1 atm to a duct system with three branches consisting of two 26-in.-diameter ducts and one 50-in. duct. The velocity in each 26-in. duct is 10 ft/s. Assume steady state operation and ideal gas behavior for the air. Determine the mass flow rate of air entering the air-handling unit, in lb/s, the volumetric flow rate in each 26-in. duct, in ft3/min, and the velocity in the 50-in. duct, in ft/s.

You have been asked to help with the low-pressure compressor (LPC) design for a turbofan engine with a bypass ratio of 8.4. The preliminary cycle design calls for the LPC to produce a pressure ratio of 9.4 with the following operating conditions and constraints. .Inlet Conditions TO2 Poz Core Air Mass Flowrate (kg/s) (K) (kPa) 282 24.6 47.0 Design Constraints Maximum Polytropic Efficiency 94.1% Maximum Stage Pr 1.55 Estimate the minimum number of stages required for this LPC. Then assuming the 1st stage of the LPC operates at the maximum allowable pressure ratio, determine the stagnation temperature exiting the 1st stage, and the stage's adiabatic efficiency. Also determine the power (W) required to operate the full LPC (not just 1st stage). Finally, what would be the percent change in the required power if the polytropic efficiency was only 90.0%.
