Consider the adiabatic compressor from a refrigerator that uses refrigerant R-134a as the working fluid, flowing at 0.05 kg/s. The refrigerant enters the compressor as a saturated vapor at a pressure of 0.14 MPa. The pressure of the refrigerant at the exit of the compressor is 0.8 MPa. Please interpolate for this problem where needed.

a. If the compressor is isentropic, what is the exit temperature?
b. What is the minimum amount of power (work) that this compressor might theoretically use?
c. If the isentropic efficiency of the actual, non-ideal, compressor is 0.85, what is the actual amount of power (work) that this compressor requires?
d. What is the entropy generated by this device? Assume that the compressor is adiabatic.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
