Using Isentropic Processes/Efficiencies

Saturated water vapor at 300oF enters a compressor operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 5 lb/s and is compressed adiabatically to 800 lbf/in.2 If the power input is 2150 hp, determine for the compressor (a) the isentropic compressor efficiency and (b) the rate of entropy production, in hp/oR. Ignore kinetic and potential energy effects.
