Air flows steadily at a rate of 0.5 kg/s through an air compressor. It enters the compressor at a velocity<br>of 6 m/s with a pressure of 1 bar and specific volume of 0.85 m/kg and leaves at a velocity of 5 m/s<br>with a pressure of 7 bar and specific volume of 0.16 m/kg. The internal energy of the air leaving is<br>90 kJ/kg greater than that of air entering (u-u: = 90 kJ/kg). Cooling water in a jacket surrounding the<br>cylinder absorbs heat from the air at a rate of 60 kJ/s. Answer the following;<br>a. What are the main assumptions<br>b.
