Question:

Consider an air compressor that receives ambient air at 100 kPa and 25oC. It compresses the air to a pressure of 2 MPa, where it exits at a temperature of 800 K. Since the air and compressor housing are both hotter than the ambient temperature, the compressor loses 80 kJ per kilogram air flowing through the compressor. Determine
(a) The reversible work (wrev) and
(b) The irreversibility in the process. Use the IG model for air.
