Mechanical Engineering

Methane (CH4) enters a compressor operating at steady state witha mass flow rate of 170 lbm/hr. The methane enters the compressorat p1 = 15 lbf/in2 , T1 = 80F and exits at p2 = 100 lbf/in2 . Thework input to the compressor is 15 hp. Assume ideal gas behaviorfor the methane with constant specific heats (cp = 0.538 Btu/lbm·R,cv = 0.414 Btu/lbm·R). Kinetic and potential energy effects arenegligible and the compressor is insulated

1)Determine the temperature at the exit of the compressor, inF.

2) Determine the rate of entropy production, Btu/hr·R, in thecompressor
