Air enters a compressor at a pressure of 74.7 kPa and 287 K and leaves at 622 kPa and 579 K. The air flow rate is 50 kg/s. Calcu
late the shaft power input required to drive the compressor. Hint: The shaft power that goes into the compressor increases the total enthalpy of the air from the inlet to the exit, since there is no heat into the system.

Explanation:
Thickness of aluminum alloy fin = 12 mm
width = 10 mm
length = 50 mm
Ambient air temperature = 22°C
Temperature of aluminum alloy is maintained at 120°C
<u>a) Determine temperature at end of fin</u>
m = √ hp/Ka
= √( 140*2 ) / ( 12 * 10^-3 * 55 )
= √ 280 / 0.66 = 20.60
