Problem 200EUP
A two-stage compressor takes nitrogen in at 80 F, 20 psia and compresses it to 80 psia, 800 R. Then it flows through an intercooler, where it cools to 580 R, and the second stage compresses it to 400 psia, 1000 R. Find the specific work in each of the two compressor stages and the specific heat transfer in the intercooler.
