Question: Argon gas enters an adiabatic compressor at 120 kPa and 30C with a velocity of 20 m/s and exits at 1.2 MPa, 530C, and 80

Argon gas enters an adiabatic compressor at 120 kPa and 30°C with a velocity of 20 m/s and exits at 1.2 MPa, 530°C, and 80 m/s. The inlet area of the compressor is 130 cm2. Assuming the surroundings to be at 25°C, determine the reversible power input and energy destroyed.
