Propane is to be compressed from 0.4 MPa and 360 K to 4 MPa using a two-stage compressor. An interstage cooler returns the temperature of the propane to 360 K before it enters the second compressor. The intermediate pressure is 1.2 MPa. Both adiabatic compressors have a compressor efficiency of 80%.(a) What is the work required in the first compressor per kg of propane?(b) What is the temperature at the exit of the first compressor?(c) What is the cooling requirement in the interstage cooler per kg of propane?

a. 81 kj/kg

b. 420.625K

c.  101.24kj/kg

Explanation:

t1 = 360

p1 = 0.4mpa

p2 = 1.20

y = 1.13

substitute these values into the equation

when we cross multiply

t2 = 360 * 1.1347

= 408.5

a. the work required in the firs compressor

w=c(t2-t1)

c=1.67x10³

t1 = 360

t2 = 408.5

w = 1670(408.5-360)

= 1670*48.5

= 80995 J

= 81KJ/kg

b.

n = 80%

t2 = 408.5

t1 = 360

0.80 = 408.5-360 ÷ t'2-360

cross multiply to get the value of t'2

0.80(t'2-360) = 48.5

0.80t'2 - 288 = 48.5

0.8t'2 = 48.5+288

0.8t'2 = 336.5

t'2 = 336.5/0.8

= 420.625

this is the temperature at the exit of the first compressor

c. cooling requirement

w = c(t2-t1)

= 1.67x10³(420.625-360)

= 1670*60.625

= 101243.75

= 101.24kj/kg
