Air enters the turbocharger compressor (of an automotive engine at 100 kPa, 30°C, and exits at 170 kPa. The air is cooled by 50°C in an intercooler before entering the engine. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 75%. Determine the temperature of the air entering the engine and the irreversibility of the compression-cooling process.
