Answer:
The value of work input to the compressor
= 1505.7 
The value of entropy generation inside the compressor
Explanation:
Initial pressure
= 100 k pa
Final pressure
= 1 M pa = 1000 k pa
At initial pressure
= 100 k pa the steam is saturated vapour. From the steam tables the value of volume at this state is
= 1.673 
Thus the work input to the compressor
=

⇒
=
(
–
)
⇒
= 1.673 ( 1000 – 100 )
⇒
= 1505.7 
The isentropic efficiency is = 85 %
So the work input to the compressor
= 
⇒
= 1771.42
This is the value of work input to the compressor.
This is the value of entropy generation inside the compressor.
