- One mole of carbon dioxide is to be compressed adiabatically from 1 bar and 25⁰C to 10 bar. Because of irreversibilities and poor design of the compressor, the compressor work required is found to be 25 % greater than that in a well-designed (reversible) compressor. Compute the outlet temperature of the carbon dioxide and the work that must be supplied to the compressor for both the reversible and irreversible compressors.
