a compressor is a gas pumping device that takes in a gas at low pressure and discharges it at a higher pressure.

a compressor is a gas pumping device that takes in a gas at low pressure and discharges it at a higher pressure. since this process occurs quickly compared with heat transfer, it is usually assumed to be adiabatic. assuming that the inlet to the compressor is air (which we will take to be an ideal gas with Cp=29.3J/(mol-K) at 1 bar and 298K and that the discharge of pressure is 10 bar, estimate the temperature of the exit gas and the rate at which work is done on the gas (i.e the power requirement) for a gas flow of 3.0mol/s. How would you verify experimentally the validity of assuming the compressor to be adiabatic?
