A steady-state, adiabatic compressor operates with the inlet and exit conditions listed 

A steady-state, adiabatic compressor operates with the inlet and exit conditions listed below. The fluid is ammonia. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. The mass flowrate through the compressor is 0.25 kg/s. What is the compressor's isentropic efficiency? What is its rate of entropy production?
