In a natural gas pipe line compressor, 110 m^3 /min of propane is compressed polytropically. The inlet pressure is 101 kPaa and the temperature is 38 degree C. The process follows pV^1.08 = C. The exit pressure is 510 kPaa. Determine (a) the exit temperature in kelvins, (b) the mass flow rate in kg/s, and (c) the heat loss in kW. And also draw the P-V and T-S

Question

In a natural gas pipe line compressor, 110 m^3
/min of propane is compressed polytropically. The
inlet pressure is 101 kPaa and the temperature is 38 degree C. The process follows pV^1.08 = C. The exit
pressure is 510 kPaa. Determine (a) the exit temperature in kelvins, (b) the mass flow rate in
kg/s, and (c) the heat loss in kW. And also draw the P-V and T-S diagrams.
