Problem 45HP
Atwo-stage compressor having an intercooler takes in air at 300 K, 100 kPa, and compresses it to 2MPa, as shown in Fig. P7.45. The cooler then cools the air to 340 K, after which it enters the second stage, which has an exit pressure of 15 MPa. Both stages are adiabatic and reversible. Find q in the cooler, total specific work, and compare this to the work required with no intercooler.
