Air at a temperature of 27°C flows into a centrifugal compressor running at 20,000 rpm. The following data are given:
Slip factor | 0.80 |
Power input factor | 1 |
Isentropic efficiency | 80% |
Outer diameter of blade tip | 0.5 m |
Assuming the absolute velocities of air entering and leaving the compressor are same, find (i) static temperature rise of air passing through the compressor, and (ii) the static pressure ratio.
