Chapter 7, Problem 7.41P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compressor efficiency for the following inlet and outlet conditions should be determined.

T1 = 300 K, P1 = 2 bar, T2 = 464K, P2 = 6 Bar and Cp/R = 7/2

Concept Introduction:

The change in enthalpy and heat capacity at constant pressure are related to each other as follows:

ΔH = [Cp.(T2T1)]

Ideal gas having constant heat capacities. The actual enthalpy change is calculated as follows:

ΔHS=[Cp.T1[( P2 P1 ) R Cp1]]

The compressor efficiency is ratio of isotropic and actual enthalpy change as follows:

η = ΔΗSΔΗ
