Abstract
A reciprocating compressor raises air from atmospheric conditions of 100 kN/m2 and 15 °C to 1000 kN/m2 at a rate of 2 kg per min. The air in the delivery pipe is at 155 °C and the internal diameter of the pipe is 50 mm. The inlet velocity is negligible. Calculate the heat transfer between the compressor and its surroundings when the power input to the compressor is 6 kW.
