Air enters a compressor steadily at the ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at 800 kPa. Heat is lost from the compressor in the amount of 120 kJ/kg, and the air experiences an entropy decrease of 0.40 kJ/kg-K. Using constant specific heats, determine (a) the exit temperature of the air, (b) the work input to the compressor, and (c) the entropy generation during this process.

Transcribed Image Text:Air enters a compressor steadily at the ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at
800 kPa. Heat is lost from the compressor in the amount of 120 kl/kg, and the air experiences
an entropy decrease of 0.40 kJ/kg-K. Using constant specific heats, determine (a) the exit
temperature of the air, (b) the work input to the compressor, and (c) the entropy generation
during this process.
