An uninsulated compressor uses 150 kW of power to compress 4.0 kg/s of an ideal gas mixture from 100 kPa to 1000 kPa, with the mixture entering at 300 K. The mixture consists of 30% CH4, 60% CO, and 10% Ar, by volume. The surface of the compressor is maintained at 310 K. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 82%. Determine the exit temperature, the rate of heat transfer, and the entropy generation rate for the compressor.
