Example:

Steady flow Compressor’s Inlet Pipe Diameter

A steady flow adiabtaic compressor is used to compress argon from 100 kPa and 27^oC to a pressure of 1.2 Mpa. The work required is 400 kW. If the inlet flow velocity is 10 m/s, calculate the diameter of the inlet flow line.

(C_P = 1.005 kJ/kg.^oC.)
