For the compressor, the working For the turbine, the working fluid
fluid is air. So apply SFEE for an is steam. So apply SFEE for an
ideal gas. KE and PE are steam/water. KE and PE are
negligible. Δh=CpΔT. negligible. Superheated steam in

OUESTION2
A piston-cylinder device contains 1.2 m3 of helium gas initially at 200 kPa and 25°C. The gas
is then compressed in a polytropic process (PV ·2 67= constant) to 350 kPa and l 50°C. The
surrounding is at a temperature of 30°C. Stating your assumption(s) , determine:
(b) the work done and heat transfer in the process; -60.29 kJ, 90.76 kJ
