Write relative magnitude of specific work-entropy generation


Saturated liquid water is compressed from 100 kPa (State 1) to 2.5 MPa (State 2) in an adiabatic pump having 85% isentropic efficiency. Calculate the specific work (kJ/kg) required for the compression of liquid water. Determine the entropy generation (kJ/kg-K) for the pump. Saturated water vapor is compressed from 100 kPa (State 3) to 2.5 MPa (State 4) in an adiabatic compressor having 85% isentropic efficiency. Calculate the specific work (kJ/kg) required for the compression of water vapor. Determine the entropy generation (kJ/kg-K) for the compressor. Comment on the relative magnitudes of the specific work and entropy generation for the pump and the compressor.
