Problem #5 (30 points): 100
A gas is compressed in a steady-flow adiabatic compressor with an efficiency of 85%. The inlet is at 285 K and 0.1 MPa , while the outlet is at 15 MPa . The gas can be modeled with the following equation of state:
PV=RT-(a)/(T)P+bP
( 25 points) Determine the work input required to the compressor.
( 5 points) Determine the exit temperature of the gas.
