Air enters a compressor at ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 23 °C and leaves at 800 kPa. Heat is lost from the compressor in the amount of 120 kJ/kg with a boundary temperature of 40 °C. The air experiences an entropy decrease of 0.4 kJ/kg-K. Assume constant specific heats (cv = 0.721 kJ/kg·K; c, = 1.005 kJ/kg-K). The gas constant for air is 0.287 kJ/kg-K. Determine: a) Three valid assumptions (besides constant specific heats) b) Exit temperature of air (°C) c) Entropy generation during this process (kJ/kg-K)

Question
Air enters a compressor at ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 23 °C and leaves at
800 kPa. Heat is lost from the compressor in the amount of 120 kJ/kg with a boundary
temperature of 40 °C. The air experiences an entropy decrease of 0.4 kJ/kg-K. Assume constant
specific heats (cy = 0.721 kJ/kg-K; c, = 1.005 kJ/kg-K). The gas constant for air is 0.287 kJ/kg-K.
Determine:
a) Three valid assumptions (besides constant specific heats)
b) Exit temperature of air (°C)
c) Entropy generation during this process (kJ/kg-K)
