Question:
Ethylene gas is to be continuously compressed from an initial state of 1 bar and 20°C to a final pressure of 18 bar in an adiabatic compressor. If compression is 70% efficient compared with an isentropic process, what will be the work requirement and what will be the final temperature of the ethylene? Assume the ethylene behaves as an ideal gas with CP = 44 J/mol-K.
