Math Problem Statement
In a centrifugal compressor with inlet guide vanes, air leaving the guide vanes has a velocity of 91.5 m/s at 70 degree the tangential direction. Determine the inlet relative Mach number assuming frictionless flow through the guide vanes and impeller total head isentropic efficiency. The other operating conditions are - (i) Impeller diameter at inlet = 457 mm (ii) Impeller diameter at exit = 762 mm (iii) Radial component of velocity at exit = 53.4 m/s (iv) Slip factor = 0.9 (v) Impeller speed = 11000 r.p.m. (vi) Static pressure at impeller exit = 223 kPa (abs) Po1=1.013 bar. (vii) Take To1 = 288 K
