An example of a transient analysis involving the 1st law of thermodynamics and conservation of mass is the filling of a compressed air tank. Assume that an air tank is being filled using a compressor to a pressure of 5 atm, and that it is being fed with air at a temperature of 25°C and 1 atm pressure. The compression process is adiabatic. Will the temperature of the air in the tank when it is done being filled i. e. once the pressure in the tank reaches 5 atm), be greater than, equal to, or less that the temperature of the 25°C air feeding the compressor?

Greater than 25°C
Unable to determine
Same as 25°C

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.
