Air is compressed steadily by an 8 - kW compressor from 100 kPa and 17°C to 600 kPa and 167°C at a rate of 2.1 kg/min. Neglecting the changes in kinetic and potential energies, determine.
(a) The increase in the exergy of the air and
(b) The rate of exergy destroyed during this process.
Assume the surroundings to be at 17°C.
