3. Air with 100 kPa, 300 K flows into the insulating compressor with a flow rate of 2 kg/s, compressed to 1000 kPa and then discharged to the exit. The back entropy efficiency of the compressor is 82%. The gas constant of the ideal gas is the air, and the meanness of the air is , The mean ratio is k=1.4. Ignore kinetic energy and position energy.
1) Draw a schematic diagram and a T-s plot of the compressor.
2) Obtain the air temperature and the input (kW) of the compressor at the exit.
3) Obtain the amount of entropy production from the compressor.

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...
