The two stage compressor shown in the figure below takes in air at room condition (285 K and 100 kPa) and compresses it to 2.5 MPa. The intercooler then cools to the air to 380 K, after which it enter the second stage of compression, which has an exit pressure of 12 MPa. Both compression stages are adiabatic and reversible (a) Find the specific heat transfer in the intercooler (the amount of heat in kJ/kg that must be removed from...
