Compression Work Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Work Done per min = Mass of Air*Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*(Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression-Actual Temperature of Rammed Air)
W_{per min} = ma*C_p*(Tt^'-T2^')
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Work Done per min - (Measured in Watt) - Work Done per min is the amount of energy transferred per minute in an air refrigeration system, typically measured in joules per minute.
Mass of Air - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass of Air is the amount of air present in a refrigeration system, which affects the cooling performance and overall efficiency of the system.
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of air in refrigeration systems by one degree Celsius.
Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression - (Measured in Kelvin) - Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression is the final temperature of air at the end of an isentropic compression process in air refrigeration systems.
Actual Temperature of Rammed Air - (Measured in Kelvin) - Actual temperature of Rammed Air is the temperature of air after it has been compressed and cooled in an air refrigeration system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of Air: 120 Kilogram per Minute --> 2 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure: 1.005 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K --> 1005 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)
Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression: 350 Kelvin --> 350 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Actual Temperature of Rammed Air: 273 Kelvin --> 273 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_{per min} = ma*C_p*(Tt^'-T2^') --> 2*1005*(350-273)

Evaluating ... ...

W_{per min} = 154770

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

154770 Watt -->9286.19999999998 Kilojoule per Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9286.19999999998 ≈ 9286.2 Kilojoule per Minute <-- Work Done per min

How does a Compressor Work in a Refrigeration System?

In a refrigeration system, the compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant by compressing it. This high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant then flows to the condenser, where it releases heat. The compressor is essential as it drives the refrigerant through the system, enabling the absorption of heat from the cooled space and maintaining the refrigeration cycle.

How to Calculate Compression Work?

Compression Work calculator uses Work Done per min = Mass of Air*Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*(Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression-Actual Temperature of Rammed Air) to calculate the Work Done per min, Compression Work formula is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a gas is compressed, typically measured in units of work per minute, and is a critical parameter in various industrial and engineering applications, such as power generation, refrigeration, and air conditioning systems. Work Done per min is denoted by W_{per min} symbol.
