Determine the work input to the compressor and the entropy


a liquid water cooled compressor compresses hydrogen with an isentropic efficiency of 70%. the inlet pressure and temperature are 50 kPa and 300 K, while the outlet pressure is 3 MPa. The mass flow rate is 2 kg/s. Assume constant specific heats evaluated at 700K, and determine the work input to the compressor and the entropy production rate if the cooling water mass flow is 10 kg/s and the temperature change of the cooling water is from 300 to 330 K.
