    844 Thermal Engineering 2, Brake Power (BP) The actual power (brake Power or shaft power) input to the compressor is more than the indicated power because some work is required to overcome the irreversibilities and mechanical frictional effects. Brake power; BP = Indicated power + Frictional power (25.14) 3. Mechanical Efficiency Mme The mechanical efficiency of the compressor is given by oe = dicated power 9s 15) Brake power The brake power is derived from a driving motor or engine, The input of a driving motor can be expressed as shaft power (or brake power) Mechanical efficiency of motor and drive Motor power = (25.16) Example 25.1 A single-stage reciprocating air compressor takes in 1.4 kg of air per minute at 1 bar ‘and 17°C and delivers it at 6 bar. Assuming compression process follows the law p¥'°* = constant, calculate indicated power input to compressor Solution Given A single-stage reciprocating air compressor fig = 14 kg/min P T=17°C=290K py n= 135 bar Law p¥'5 =C bar bar To find Indicator power input to compressor.
