Air enters a compressor operating at steady-state at 22oC,100 kPa, and with a
volumetric flow rate of 9 m3/min and exits from the compressor at 157oC and 500 kPa. Cooling
water is circulated through a water jacket enclosing the compressor at a rate of 10 kg/min,
entering at 15oC and exiting at 23oC with a negligible change in pressure. a) the power input into the compressor, and
b) the rate of entropy production for this process
