A steady flow, steady state air compressor with a surface temperature of 80.0°F handles 4000. ft3 /min measured at the intake state of 14.1 psia, 30.0°F and a velocity of 70.0 ft/s. The discharge is at 45.0 psia and has a velocity of 280. ft/s. Both the inlet and exit stations are located 4.00 ft above the floor.
Determine the discharge temperature and the power required to drive the compressor for
a. A reversible adiabatic process.
b. An irreversible adiabatic process with a compressor work transport efficiency of 80.0%.
