1.

A two cylinder, single-acting air compressor is directly coupled to an electric motor

running at 1000 RPM. Other data are as follows:
Size of each cylinder : 150 mm x 200 mm
Air molecular mass : 29
Clearance volume : 10% of displacement
PV 1.6 = C, both compression and re-expansion

Calculate (a) the volume rate of air delivery in terms of standard air for a delivery
pressure of 8 times the ambient pressure under ambient conditions of 300 K and 1
bar and (b) shaft power required if the mechanical efficiency 81%.
2. A delivery of 570 m3/s of air at 63.5 mm WG static pressure is required of a fan
having a mechanical efficiency of 65%. The duct through which the air flows is
1.5 m2 and atmospheric air at 101.3 kPa, 24 C. Find (a) the air power (b) brake
power to drive it, kW (c) the static efficiency
3. A fan manufacturer rates his fan a 4.43 in WG static pressure for 6000 ft 3/min of
air a 70 F static efficiency. What will be the flow, static pressure and shaft hP at
1800 rpm, 200 F and 26 in Hg barometric pressure
4. The combination of diameter and height of a chimney required for a specific case
will be determined over a range that includes the minimum product. Assume
that the chimney is to be constructed of brick, proportional to carry 1710 ft 3/s of
gas and maintain static draft of 0.79 in WG. Gas density given is 0.0423 lb/ft 3
and atmospheric density is 0.0731 lb/ft3.
5. A power plant at an altitude having an ambient air at 96.53 kPa, 23.88 C. Flue
gases at rate of 5 kg/s enter the stack at 210 C and leave at 160 C. The flue
gases gravimetric analysis 18% CO2, 7%CO, and 75% N2. Calculate (a) height
of the stack necessary for a driving force of 0.20 kPa (b) diameter of stack if
velocity coefficient is 40%.
6. The temperature of the air in a dryer is maintained constant by the use of
steam coils within the dryer. The product enters the dryer at the rate of one
metric ton per hour. The initial moisture content is 3 kg moisture per kg of
dry solid and will be dried to a moisture content of 0.10 kg per kg of dry solid.
Air enters the dryer with a humidity ratio of 0.016 kg moisture per kg of dry
air and leaves with a relative humidity of 100% while the temperature
remains constant at 60C. If the total pressure of the air is 101.3 kPa,
determine (a) total required amount of air in kg/hr under entrance conditions
(b) capacity of the forced draft fan to handle this air in m 3/min
