Carbon dioxide is being compressed from 100 kPa and 300 K to 600 kPa and 500 K. The compressor has a flowrate of 1.5 kg/s and heat is being lost from the compressor at a rate of 50 kW. What is the rate of shaft work, in kW, consumed by this compressor?

Respuesta :

Answer:429.8 KW

Explanation:  

carbon dioxide  Inlet temperature [tex]300K [/tex] and pressure 100 KPa

At given Temperature and presssure [tex]c_p_1=0.846 kJ/kg-k[/tex]

Flow rate [tex]\dot{m} =1.5 kg/s[/tex]

Steam Outlet temperature and Pressure is [tex]500K[/tex] and pressure is 600 KPa

[tex]c_p_2=1.014 kJ/kg-k[/tex]

Heat loss 50  KW

Applying Steady Flow Energy Equation

[tex]\dot{m}\left ( h_1+\frac{v_1^2}{2}+z_1 \right )+\dot{Q}=\dot{m}\left ( h_2+\frac{v_2^2}{2}+z_2 \right )+\dot{W}[/tex]

Neglecting Kinetic and Potential Energy changes

[tex]\dot{m}h_1+\dot{Q}=\dot{m}h_2+\dot{W}[/tex]

[tex]\dot{W}=\dot{m}\left ( c_p_1T_1-c_p_2T_2\right )+\dot{Q}[/tex]

[tex]\dot{W}=1.5\left ( 0.846\times 300-1.014\times 500\right )-50[/tex]

[tex]\dot{W}=429.8 KW[/tex]

Negative sign indicates work is being done on the system.
