Chapter 10, Problem 88P
A prototype air compressor with a compression ratio of 7 is designed to take 8.9 kg/s air at 1 atmosphere and 20°C. The design point speed, power requirement, and efficiency are 600 rpm, 5.6 MW, and 80 percent, respectively. A l:5-scale model of the prototype is built to help determine operability for the prototype. If the model takes in air at identical conditions to the prototype design point, what will the mass flow and power requirement be for operation at 80 percent efficiency?
