QUESTION:
Air enters the compressor of a gas-turbine plant at ambient conditions of and with a low velocity and exits at and with a velocity of . The compressor is cooled at a rate of , and the power input to the compressor is . Determine the mass flow rate of air through the compressor
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
Air is compressed by a computer. The mass flow rate of air through the compressor is to be determined.it is assumed that
1. This is a steady-flow process since there is no change with time.
2. Potential energy changes are negligible.
