Question: An air compressor receives atmospheric air at T0 = 17C, 100 kPa, and compresses it up to 1400 kPa. The compressor has an isentropic efficiency

An air compressor receives atmospheric air at T0 = 17°C, 100 kPa, and compresses it up to 1400 kPa. The compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 88% and it loses energy by heat transfer to the atmosphere as 10% of the isentropic work. Calculate the actual exit temperature and the reversible work.
