Air at 100 kPa and 20 oC is compressed steadily by a 49 kW compressor to 700 kPa and 248 oC . The mass flow rate of air is 10 kg/min. The surrounding temperature or the ambient temperature is 17 oC. Calculate the loss of available energy or exergy destroyed in kW.

Air at 100 kPa and 280 K is compressed steadily to 600 kPa and 400 K. The mass flow rate of air is 0.02 kg/s and a heat loss of 16 kJ/kg occurs during the process. The power input to the compressor will be C5 kW.

Air is compressed steadily by an 8 -kW compressor from $100 \mathrm{kPa}$ and $17^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $600 \mathrm{kPa}$ and $167^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at a rate of $2.1 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{min} .$ Neglecting the changes in kinetic and potential energies, determine ( $a$ ) the increase in the exergy of the air and ( $b$ ) the rate of exergy destroyed during this process. Assume the surroundings to be at $17^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
