QUESTION:
A gas enters a compressor that provides a pressure ratio (exit pressure to inlet pressure) equal to 8 . If a gage indicates the gas pressure at the inlet is 5.5 psig, what is the absolute pressure, in psia, of the gas at the exit? Atmospheric pressure is \(14.5 \mathrm{lbf} / \mathrm{in}^2\).
ANSWER:Solution 40P
Step 1 of 3:
In this question, we need to need find the absolute pressure of the gas at the exit in terms of (pound per square inch absolute)
Data given
Pressure ratio
Inlet pressure of the gas
Atmospheric pressure
