An adiabatic, steady flow compressor is designed to compress superheated steam at a rate of 50.0 lbm/min.
At the inlet to the compressor, the state is 100. psia and 400.°F; and at the compressor exit, the state is 200. psia and 600.°F.
Neglecting any kinetic or potential energy effects, calculate (a) the power required to drive the compressor and (b) the rate of availability destruction by the compressor. Use saturated liquid water at 80.0°F as the local environment (ground state).
