Air at a rate of 50 m3/min enters an adiabatic compressor at a pressure of 100 kPa and a temperature of 24.3 C and exits at 500 kPa and 189.55 C. It then enters an insulated heat exchanger where it gets cooled by water. The air exits the heat exchanger at a temperature of 57.35 C. Water enters the heat exchanger at 20 C and exits at 50 C. Calculate the compressor power in kW, the mass for rate of the cooling water in kg/sec, and the rate of entropy generation for the compressor and the heat exchanger. Assume a mean heat capacity of water at ?? = 4.18 ??/???. You may also assume that there is no pressure drop in the heat exchanger)

Entropy

In physics, entropy means the amount of disorder or the degree of randomness associated with a thermodynamic system. The system is not self-organized when the entropy of the system is high. For instance, when a system is at an elevated temperature, its molecules are in random motion, vibrating and colliding with each other. During this scenario, the probability of finding a molecule at a particular place twice, is low. Under this circumstance, the system can be said to be in a high entropy.
