True or False An isentropic process is always reversible adiabatic. An internally reversible compressor requires minimum power. For a steady flow compressor, the heat loss due to irreversibility occurring in a heat transfer process across a finite temperature difference from the system boundary can be determined if the following quantities are known: the surrounding and exit temperature values and the entropy difference in working fluid between inlet and exit conditions. The Q_loss term is same as the exergy destruction term in an exergy balance equation. If an adiabatic compressor becomes internally reversible then we can consider it as a reversible adiabatic compressor.
