An insulated compressor is used to increase the pressure of an ideal gas mixture. The mixture enters at 300 K and 100 kPa, and exits at 700 K and 800 kPa. The mixture consists of, by volume, 50% H2, 10% N2, 15% O2, and 25% CO2. The mass flow rate of the mixture is 12.0 kg/s. Assume the gases have constant specific heats. Determine the power consumed by the compressor and the entropy generation rate for the process by (a) treating the mixture as a mixture through the whole solution, and (b) treating each gas separately through the turbine and adding the results.
