Find the actual compressor power input and the entropy


Nitrogen gas at steady-state-steady-flow undergoes a compression provess through a well-insulated compressor. The inlet pressure and temperature are 100 kPa and 300K THe exit pressure is 1500 kOa. The isentropic compressor efficiency, w_rev/w_actual= 70%. THe mass flow rate of nitrogen gas is 30 kg/s. Neglect kinetic and potential energy. Use: R=.297 kJ/kg-K, k=1.4, c_v=.743 kJ/kg-K, cp=1.04 kJ/kg-K.
Include a T-s process diagram showing the actual states and the theroretical isentropic path. Find the actual compressor power input and the entropy production rate for the compressor process.
