A fan uses a rotating blade to moves 2m3 of air each second at a speed of 3 m/s. Assumes air is initially at rest and has a density of 1 kg/m3. Fans are inefficient; assume an efficiency of 10%. What is the acceleration of the air? 

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
