(a)290°C (b)300°C (c)311°C
(d)371°C (e)422°C
ANSWER:
Step by step solution Step 1 of 2At state-1:Obtain the entropy of the steam at pressure of 6 MPa and temperature of fromthe table A-6 “superheated water” of the textbook.Entropy,At state-2:The compression process is an isentropic process, hence the entropy at state-1 is equalto the entropy at state-2.
