A water-cooled air compressor takes air in at 20C, 90 kPa and compresses it to 500 kPa.

Question:

A water-cooled air compressor takes air in at 20°C, 90 kPa and compresses it to 500 kPa. The isothermal efficiency is 80% and the actual compressor has the same heat transfer as the ideal one. Find the specific compressor work and the exit temperature.
