In the energy conservation statement for a compressor, which one of the following terms in NEVER neglected? Change in potential energy Change in kinetic energy Work Heat Transfer

Solution

In the energy conservation statement for a compressor,WORK term never neglected because compressor used to increase the presuure of fluid .work is supplied to these devices from an external source through a rotating shaft.Therfore compressor involves work inputs.

Note that compressor requires power input.heat transfer from the compressor is negligible unless there is intentional cooling.potential energy and kinetic energy all are neglected
