1. An insulated air compressor with an isentropic efficiency of 78.0% compresses air from 0.100 MPa, 290. K to 10.0 MPa. Use the gas tables to determine the power required per unit mass flow rate and the exit air temperature.
2. Use the gas tables (Table C.16a) to determine the final temperature and the minimum possible power required to compress 3.00 lbm/s of air from 14.7 psia, 40.0°F to 10.0 atm. in a steady flow, adiabatic process.
