Air is compressed in a steady-flow compressor via a polytropic process from 15 psia and 60 degrees F (state 1). To 75 psia and 294 degrees F (state 2).
(A) calculate the specific work (Btu/lbm) for the compressor.
(B) determine the specific heat transfer (Btu/lbm) for the compressor.
(C) Show the compression process on P-v and T-s diagrams
(D) What do the areas under the process curve on the P-v and T-s diagrams represent?
