Exploring Psychrometric Principles

Air at 60°F, 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 75% relative humidity enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state and is compressed to 100 lbf/in.2 The isentropic compressor efficiency is ηc.

(a) For ηc = 0.8, determine the temperature, in °R, of the exiting air, and the work input required and the exergy destruction, each in Btu per lb of dry air flowing. Let T0 = 520°R.

(b) Plot each of the quantities determined in part (a) versus ηc ranging from 0.7 to 1.0.
