Chapter 7.13, Problem 161P
The compressed-air requirements of a plant are met by a 150-hp compressor equipped with an intercooler, an aftercooler, and a refrigerated dryer. The plant operates 6300 h/yr, but the compressor is estimated to be compressing air during only one-third of the operating hours, that is, 2100 hours a year. The compressor is either idling or is shut off the rest of the time. Temperature measurements and calculations indicate that 25 percent of the energy input to the compressor is removed from the compressed air as heat in the aftercooler. The COP of the refrigeration unit is 2.5, and the cost of electricity is $0.065/kWh. Determine the amount of energy and money saved per year as a result of cooling the compressed air before it enters the refrigerated dryer.

It is suggested to pump 5,000 kg/h of a liquid
at 114°C and 1.1 atm abs pressure from a
reboiler of a distillation tower to a second
distillation unit without cooling the liquid before
this joins the pump in a given industrial
operation. The liquid has a density of 866 kg/
m2 and a vapor pressure of 1.1 atm at this
heat.condition. The reboiler-to-pump line has
a friction loss of 5 kN/m2.
a. To achieve a net positive suction head of 2.5
m, how far must the liquid level in the reboiler
be maintained?
b. Compute the power needed to drive the
pump if the liquid is to be elevated 5 meters,
the pressure in the second unit is atmospheri
and the discharge line friction loss is 25 kN/
m2. The pump discharge line has a velocity of
2 m/s, and the pump-motor efficiency is 65
percent.
At the beginning of a cycle using air, the pressure, volume and temperature are 550 kN/m 2 , 0.025 m 3 and 15°C, respectively. The air is heatedat constant pressure until the temperature is 204°C. It is then expanded adiabatically until the temperature becomes 120°C. The air is cooled atconstant volume to a temperature of 15°C then restored to its original volume by isothermal compression.

At high compression ratios, the air temperature may rise above the autoignition temperature of some hydrocarbons, including some lubricating oil. Therefore, the presence of some lubricating oil vapor in highpressure air raises the possibility of an explosion, creating a fire hazard. The concentration of the oil within the compressor is usually too low to create a real danger. However, the oil that collects on the inner walls of exhaust piping of the compressor may cause an explosion. Such explosions have largely been eliminated by using the proper lubricating oils, carefully designing the equipment, intercooling between compressor stages, and keeping the system clean. A compressor is to be designed for an industrial application in Los Angeles. If the compressor exit temperature is not to exceed 250C for safety consideration, determine the maximum…arrow_forward
