Can you please help me with the following question even though the answer has been provided? I would like to know the process of how they arrived at those answers. Do what you can.

Question:

A mixture of 1 CO:2H₂
is adiabatically and continuously compressed from 5 atm and 100^oF to 100 atm and 1100^oF. Hint: For this mixture,
C_p

=
x₁C_P1
+ x₂C_P2
.

• (a) Estimate the work of compressing 1 ton/h of the gas. (C_P
  =
  7/2R) (ANS. 1.3E6 BTU/h)


• (b) Determine the efficiency of the compressor. (ANS. 76%)
