An isentropic compressor that takes in air from the atmosphere at 100 kPa and 300 K compresses it to 1 MPa. The compressor feeds into a rigid tank that is initially filled with 5 kg of air at a pressure of 500 kPa and a temperature of 500 K. Once the mass in the tank reaches 8 kg, the compressor will stop to prevent the tank from rupturing, which will occur if the pressure exceeds 1000 kPa. a) Determine the...
