compressor at a steady state with a mass flow rate of
300 lb/h and exits as saturated vapor at p2 = 160
lbf/in². Heat transfer occurs from the compressor to its
surroundings, which are at To = 40°F. Changes in
kinetic and potential energy can be ignored. The power
input to the compressor is 3 hp. Determine the heat
transfer rate for the compressor, in Btu/hr, and the
entropy production rate for the compressor, in
Btu/hr.°R. [MO3, MO7]
