Air at 300 k and 100 kpa enters a two-stage compression system. each compressor triples the pressure, has a 90% isentropic efficiency, and operates adiabatically. a) what is the work required per unit –mass? b) what is the specific entropy generation in kj/kg-k?

An air conditioning system consist of a 5 cm diameter pipe, operating at a pressure of 200 kpa. the air initially enters the pipe at 15°c with a velocity of 20 m/s and relative humidity of 80%. if the heat supply throughout the process is 960 w, determine the relative humidity and the temperature at the outlet

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Determine whether or not it is possible to compress air adiabatically from k to 140 kpa and 400 k. what is the entropy change during this process?
