Question: 2 . ( 2 0 points ) Air enters an adiabatic compressor at 9 5 kPa and ( 2 5 ^ { circ

2.(20 points) Air enters an adiabatic compressor at 95 kPa and \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) at a rate of \(0.8\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\) with an isentropic efficiency of \(\mathbf{90\%}\), and leaves at 1.2 MPa . Assume that airflow is steady and neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy. For the air, use \(\mathbf{C P}=\mathbf{1.1}\mathbf{~ k J}/\mathbf{k g}*\mathrm{~K}\).(remember that you can get the other specific heat using the gas constant, \(\mathbf{R}=\mathbf{0.287}\mathbf{~ k J}/\mathbf{k g}*\mathrm{~K}\), if necessary)
(a)(5 points) Determine the exit temperature for an ideal compressor, with the same exit pressure.
(b)(5 points) Determine the exit temperature of the actual compressor.
(c)(5 points) Determine the power required to drive the actual compressor.
(d)(5 points) Determine the entropy generation rate from the actual compressor.
