Saturated water vapor at 300°F enters a compressor operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 5 lb/s and is compressed adiabatically to 550 lbf/in.2


If the power input is 2150 hp, determine for the compressor:

(a) the percent isentropic compressor efficiency and

(b) the rate of entropy production, in hp/°R.

Ignore kinetic and potential energy effects.
