Air enters a compressor at ambient conditions of15 psia and 60°F with a low velocity and exits at 150 psia, 620°F, and 350 ft/s. The compressor is cooled by the ambient air at 60°F at a rate of 1500 Btu/min. The power input to the compressor is 400 hp. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of air and (b) the rate of entropy generation.
