An adiabatic compressor is shown in the diagram. The fluid going through the compressor is an ideal gas with \( c_{p}=1.5 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K} \) and \( R=0.3 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K} \). Determine: a) the work required by the compressor in \( \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \) if the isentropic efficiency is \( 80 \% \). b) the outlet temperature.
Expert Answer
considering the compression process to be isentropic, if T2= oultet temperature of the gas under these conditions, T1= inlet temperature of the gas to the compressor in K=300K, P1= suction pressure = 100Kpa, Dischar
