One mole of carbon dioxide is to be compressed adiabatically from 1 bar and 25⁰C to 10 bar. Because of irreversibilities and poor design of the compressor, the compressor work required is found to be 25 % greater than that in a well-designed (reversible) compressor. Compute the outlet temperature of the carbon dioxide and the work that must be supplied to the compressor for both the reversible and irreversible compressors. Assume carbon dioxide is an ideal gas with the constant-pressure heat capacity (in J/mol.K) given below. (Please write assumptions) (Hint: You can either use Matlab or Octave to solve for T numerically or you can use a trial-error procedure.)
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
