Question: A compressor, operating at steady state, receives air with a flow rate ( m ) of 1 k g s at 1 0 0 kPa

A compressor, operating at steady state, receives air with a flow rate (m) of 1kgs at 100 kPa and 25C. The ratio of pressure at the exit to that at the inlet is 5. There is no significant heat transfer between the compressor and its surroundings. Also ????KE and ????PE are negligible. If the isentropic compressor efficiency is 75%, determine (a) the actual power (include sign) and (b) temperature at the compressor exit. Use the PG model for air. (c) What-if scenario: What would the compressor power be if the IG model had been used instead?
A compressor, operating at steady state, receives
