Question: Air at 2 5 deg C and 1 . 0 bar is compressed to 5 . 0 bar using a compressor in a steady

Air at 25\deg C and 1.0 bar is compressed to 5.0 bar using a compressor in a steady-state flow process. If
the temperature of the air at the compressor outlet is 250\deg C determine: a) the shaft work (J/mol) required
by the compressor; b) the efficiency of the compressor, and; c) the change in entropy (J/molK) of the air.
You may assume the heat capacity (CP ) of the air is constant at 29.2 J/mol K and that the gas is ideal
under all conditions. You may assume the process is adiabatic and potential/kinetic energy changes are
negligible
