Calculate the minimum power required to pressurize 1 mol/s of N2, initially at 300K and 10 bar to 100 bar. Compare this value to the minimum power for pressurizing 1mol/s of H2O from same initial temperature and pressure to the same final pressure. Also report the final temperatures of the pressurized steams.
Assume adiabatic compressor and pump operation. What is the physical reason for the large in power and final temperature? Use accurate thermodynamic data for N2 and H2O in this problem.
