Answer:
i) 43.55 kg/s
ii) 40 m/s
iii) -199.32 KW
Explanation:
To resolve the above question we have to make some assumptions :
- mass flow through the system is constant
- The only interactions that are between the system and the surrounding are work and heat
- The fluid is uniform
i) first we have to determine the mass flow rate of the air
M =
= ---------- (1) hence M = 43.55 kg/s
ii) using this relationship : A1V1 = A2V2 hence V1 = (0.2/0.5) * 100 = 40m/s ( inlet velocity )
input this value into equation 1
iii) Next we will determine the power required to run compressor
attached below
power required = -199.32 KW ( this value indicates that there is power supplied )
