Question

Carbon dioxide (CO2) at 1 bar, 300 K enters a compressor operating at steady state and is compressed adiabatically to an exit state of 10 bar, 520 K. The CO2 is modeled as an ideal gas, and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. For the compressor, determine (a) the work input, in kJ per kg of CO2 flowing, (b) the rate of entropy production, in kJ/K per kg of CO2 flowing, and (c) the isentropic compressor efficiency.

Answer 1

A.) 0.08 kJ/kg.K

B.) 207.8 KJ/Kg

C.) 0.808

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the use of fluids mechanic table will be required. In order to get the compressor processes, the kinetic energy and the potential energy will be negligible while applying the ideal gas model.

Since the steam is a closed system, the carbon dioxide will be compressed adiabatically.
