Question: Nitrogen ( left ( mathrm { N } _ { 2 } right ) ) at 1 bar, 3 0

Nitrogen \(\left(\mathrm{N}_{2}\right)\) at 1 bar, 300 K enters a compressor operating at steady state and is compressed adiabatically to an exit state of 14.5 bar, 685 K . The \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\) is modeled as an ideal gas and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.
Determine the work input, in kJ per kg of \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\) flowing, the rate of entropy production, in \(\mathrm{kJ}/\mathrm{K}\) per kg of \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\) flowing, and the isentropic compressor efficiency.
Nitrogen \ ( \ left ( \ mathrm { N } _ { 2 } \
