STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Isentropic Index: 1.4 --> No Conversion Required
Mass of Refrigerant in kg per minute: 200 Kilogram per Minute --> 3.33333333333333 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Discharge Temperature of Refrigerant: 450 Kelvin --> 450 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Suction Temperature of Refrigerant: 350 Kelvin --> 350 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_Isentropic = (γ/(γ-1))*m*[R]*(T_discharge-T_refrigerant) --> (1.4/(1.4-1))*3.33333333333333*[R]*(450-350)

Evaluating ... ...

W_Isentropic = 9700.20638784544

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9700.20638784544 Joule per Second -->582012.383270726 Joule per Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

582012.383270726 ≈ 582012.4 Joule per Minute <-- Work done per minute during Isentropic Compression

What is Isentropic Process ?

An isentropic process is a thermodynamic process in which the fluid or gas entropy tends to be constant. This suggests that the isentropic system is a special case of an adiabatic mechanism in which no heat or matter is transported. So an adiabatic process is not actually isentropic in general we should call it isentropic only if the process is reversible and adiabatic.

How to Calculate Work done during isentropic compression?

Work done during isentropic compression calculator uses Work done per minute during Isentropic Compression = (Isentropic Index/(Isentropic Index-1))*Mass of Refrigerant in kg per minute*[R]*(Discharge Temperature of Refrigerant-Suction Temperature of Refrigerant) to calculate the Work done per minute during Isentropic Compression, Work done during isentropic compression formula is defined as the energy transferred during the reversible adiabatic compression of a gas, typically in a compressor, where the temperature and pressure of the gas change without any heat transfer or change in entropy. Work done per minute during Isentropic Compression is denoted by W_Isentropic symbol.

How to calculate Work done during isentropic compression using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Work done during isentropic compression, enter Isentropic Index (γ), Mass of Refrigerant in kg per minute (m), Discharge Temperature of Refrigerant (T_discharge) & Suction Temperature of Refrigerant (T_refrigerant) and hit the calculate button.
