Water vapor enters a compressor at 100 kPa pressure, 100°C temperature and 1.1 kg/s mass flow rate and exits at 500 kPa pressure and 500°C temperature. Since the heat transfer from the compressor's surface to the environment is 75 kW and the boundary temperature between the compressor and the environment is 100°C, a) Find the exergy of the fluid at the inlet of the compressor (kW). b) Find the exergy of the fluid at the compressor outlet (kW). c) Find the second law efficiency of the compressor. d) Find the exergy destroyed (Exergy extinction) (kW). Note: Changes in kinetic and potential energies will be neglected and T (K) = 273 + °C will be taken.
