Redo Problem 5.29 using Aspen Plus.

Problem 5.29

The inlet to an adiabatic compressor is nitrogen at 1 bar (0.1 MPa) and 150 K, and the exit pressure is 10 bar (1 MPa). 

a. Determine the minimum work required for each kg of nitrogen compressed and the exit temperature of the nitrogen. 

b. If the compressor is found to require 20% more work than the minimum, determine efficiency of the compressor, the work obtained per kg of nitrogen and the exit temperature.
