A 5-stage compressor compresses 30,000 cfm of air from 15 to 45 psia. If each stage operated adiabatically, if the inter cooling were perfect, and if the ratio of discharge pressure for each stage to the inlet pressure were the same for all stages, how many horsepower could be ideally required to drive the compressor. What are the pressures in between-stages? ANS: 2226 hp

A pump draws water at a steady flow rate of $25 \mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{s}$ through a piping system. The pressure on the suction side of the pump is -2.5 psig. The pump outlet pressure is 50 psig. The inlet pipe diameter is 3 in.; the outlet pipe diameter is 2 in. The pump efficiency is 70 percent. Calculate the power required to drive the pump.
