Air is compressed by a 15-kW compressor from pressure P1 to pressure P2. The air temperature is maintained constant at 25°C during the process as a result of heat transfer to the surrounding medium at 20°C. Determine (a) the amount of heat per unit time in kW rejected to the environment, and (b) the rate of entropy change of the air. State all key assumptions.
