Using Isentropic Processes/Efficiencies
Nitrogen (N2) enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state at 1 bar, 37oC with a mass flow rate of 1000 kg/h and exits at 10 bar. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. The nitrogen can be modeled as an ideal gas with k = 1.391.
(a) Determine the minimum theoretical power input required, in kW, and the corresponding exit temperature, in oC.
(b) If the exit temperature is 397oC, determine the power input, in kW, and the isentropic compressor efficiency.
