Answer:
The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.
the specific volumes are:
initial = 0.062 m^3/kg
final = 0.027 m^3/kg.
Then, the specific work can be written as:
The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.
Now, to write it in more common units we have that:
1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.
-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.
The appropriate expression for the calculation of power by relating the angular energy in a given time.
In other words the instantaneous power of an angular accelerating body is the torque times the angular velocity
Where
Torque
Angular speed
Our values are given by
The angular velocity must be transformed into radians per second then
Replacing,
The average power delivered by the engine at this rotation rate is 211.1kW
