Question: Tests on an adiabatic gas compressor yield values for inlet conditions (T1, P2) and outlet conditions (T2. P2) Assuming ideal gases with constant heat capacities,

Tests on an adiabatic gas compressor yield values for inlet conditions (T1, P2) and outlet conditions (T2. P2) Assuming ideal gases with constant heat capacities, determine the compressor efficiency for one of the following:
(a) T1 = 300K P1 = 2 bar. T2 = 464 K. P2 = 6 bar. CP/R = 7/2.
(b) T1 = 290K P1 = 1.5 bar. T2 = 547 K. P2 = 5 bar. CP/R = 5/2.
(c) T1 = 295K P1 = 1.2 bar. T2 = 455 K, P2 = 6 bar. CP/R ~ 9/2.
(d) T1 = 300K P1 = 1.1 hor. T2 = 505 K. P2 = 8 bar, CP/R =11/2.
(e) T1 = 305K P1 = 1.5 bar. T2 = 4% K, P2 = 7 bar, CP/R = 4.
