QUESTION:
Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at \(15 \mathrm{\ lbf} /\text {in. }^{2}, \ 80^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and exits at \(400^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine the maximum theoretical pressure at the exit, in \(\text { lbf/in. }{ }^{2}\)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
We have to calculate the exit pressure.
