Question:
For an adiabatic gas compressor, the efficiency with respect to isentropic operation η is a measure of internal irreversibilities; so is the dimensionless rate of entropy generation SG /R ≡ ṠG /(ṅ R). Assuming that the gas is ideal with constant heat capacities, show that η and SG /R are related through the expression:
Where
π ≡ (P2 / P1)R/CP
