Air is compressed in a steady-flow compressor via a


Air is compressed in a steady-flow compressor via a polytropic process from 15 psia and 60ºF (State 1) to 75 psia and 294ºF (State 2).

a) Calculate the specific work (Btu/lbm) for the compressor.

b) Determine the specific heat transfer (Btu/lbm) for the compressor.

c) Show the compression process on P-v and T-s diagrams.

d) What do the areas under the process curve on the P-v and T-s diagram represent?
