An air compressor has inlet at 100 kPa, 290 K, and brings it to 500 kPa, after which the air is cooled in an intercooler to 340Kby heat transfer to the ambient 290 K. Assume this first compressor

stage has an isentropic efficiency of 85% and is adiabatic. Using constant specific heat, find the compressor exit temperature and the specific entropy generation in the process.
