(5 marks) flows steadily at the rate of 0.4 kg/s through an air compressor as shown in FIGURE Q2(a). The air enters the compressor at 6m/s with a pressure of 1 bar and a specific volume of 0.85 m’/kg, and leaves it at-4.5 m/s with a pressure of 6.9 bar and a specific volume of 0.16 m’/kg. The specific internal energy of the air leaving the compressor is 88 ki/kg greater than that of the air entering it. Cooling water absorbs heat from the air at the rate of 59 kW in a jacket surrounding the compressor cylinder. Calculate: (i) the power required to drive the compressor, and (ii) the imlet and outlet cross-section areas of the pipe. (12 marks) A kilogram of water fills a 150 liters rigid container at an initial pressure of 2 MPa as shown in FIGURE Q2(b).

(4 marks) A Carnot heat engine receives heat at 1000 K and rejects the waste heat to the environment at 30°C. The entire work output from the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot refrigerator as shown in FIGURE Q5(b). The refrigerator operates by removing heat from cooled space at -10°C, at a rate of 280 ki/min and rejects the heat to the same environment at same temperature.
