A centrifugal compressor is designed to operate with air. At the leading edge of the tip of the inducer (eye of the impeller), the blade angle is 45° and the relative Mach number is 1.0. The stagnation temperature of the incoming air is 300 K. Consider γ = 1.4. Neglect pre-whirl and slip. The inducer tip speed is _______ m/s (rounded off to the nearest integer).

Correct : a
