An adiabatic compressor is used to pressurize air from 100 kPa to 1900 kPa. If the air entering the compressor is at 300 K, and the isentropic efficiency of the air is 75 %, then calculate the required work by performing an: (a) approximate analysis (assume 300 K values for specific heats) (b) exact analysis (variable specific heats)

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...
