9.12 The shaft work in a pump to increase the pressure is small compared to the shaft work in an air compressor for the same pressure increase. Why? The reversible work is given by Eq. 9.14 or 9.18 if no kinetic or potential energy changes w = v dP The liquid has a very small value for v compared to a large value for a gas. 9.13 If the pressure in a flow is constant, can you have shaft work? The reversible work is given by Eq.9.14 w = v dP + (Vi Ve ) + g (Zi Ze) For a constant pressure the first term drops out but the other two remains. Kinetic energy changes can give work out (windmill) and potential energy changes can give work out (a dam). 9.14 A pump has a 2 kW motor. How much liquid water at 15oC can I pump to 250 kPa from 100 kPa? Incompressible flow (liquid water) and we assume reversible. Then the shaftwork is from Eq.9.18 w = v dP = v P = 0.001 m3/kg (250 100) kPa = 0.15 kJ/kg . 2 . W m = -w = 0.15 = 13.3 kg/s
