Question
Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1 bar, with a volumetric flow rate of and is compressed to . The power input is . Employing the ideal gas model and ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects, obtain the following results:
(a) For a control volume enclosing the compressor only, determine the heat transfer rate, in , and the change in specific entropy from inlet to exit, in . What additional information would be required to evaluate the rate of entropy production?
(b) Compute the rate of entropy production, in , for an enlarged control volume enclosing the compressor and a portion of its immediate surroundings so that heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature, .
