In the compressor side of a turbocharger, the radial component of the velocity at the exit of a radial vaned impeller is 28 m/s and the slip factor is 0.9. The impeller tip speed is 350 m/s. The impeller area is 0.08 m2 and the total-to-total efficiency is 90%. Stagnation pressure and temperature at the inlet of the compressor are 1 bar and 288 K. In the turbine side, the gases (with stagnation conditions of 390 kPa and 1150 K) enter blades of the turbine radially and leave without exit swirl. Blades of the turbine at the inlet are radial. Inlet diameter of the turbine is 12.6 cm. The ratio of specific heats is 1.35 and outlet static pressure is 150 kPa and the mass flow rate is 0.28 kg/s. Determine: (a) exit Mach number of the compressor, (b) mass flow rate through the compressor, (c) isentropic work of the turbine, (d) power delivered by the turbine, (e) blade speed at the inlet of the turbine.
