Determine the final temperature of water and the work required for this compression.
To solve this problem, we take the contents of the cylinders as the system. This is a closed system, since no mass enter or leaves it. The energy balance for this stationary closed system can be expressed as it follows:
Therefore we need the values of the internal energy in the initial and in the final state. These can be found in Table A-6:
The process is isentropic, which means that the entropy remains constant during the process. The properties at the final state are:
Therefore the work done during this compression process is:
