Isentropic Efficiency of an Ideal Gas Compressor

What is Isentropic process:

Adiabatic flows, where no heat q enters or leaves, the change in entropy simply describes the losses
generated in the compression process. These losses come from the friction of gas with solid surfaces
and the mixing of gas of different energy levels.

What is the minimum power input and actual power input required?

How can I calculate the outlet temperature of the gas?

How can I Calculate the isentropic efficiency of the real compressor?

All that you can Calculated in sec with spreadsheet but first let’s go thru each one of them are you
ready?

We can determine the isentropic work by applying the 1st Law to an isentropic compressor. For
a steady-state, single-inlet, single outlet system with negligible heat
transfer, kinetic and potential energy changes, the 1st Law is:

The entropy change for this process can determined using the 1st Gibbs Equation in terms of the Ideal
Gas Entropy Function.

Change of entropy =0 so we need to calculate T2s outlet at ST2S

We can solve for the unknown SoT2S to determine T2 and H2 by goal seek.
