A reciprocating compressor takes a charge of air at 1 bar and 200C and compresses it to 5 bar. Assuming that the compression is reversible and has an index, n, of 1.3, find the final temperature and heat per unit mass that must be extracted by a cooling jacket if the compressor is to run at a steady temperature.

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...
