12.2 Compression of Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide (CO2) at 1 bar and 300 K enters a compressor operating at steady state and is compressed adiabatically to an exit state of 10 bar and 520 K. The CO2 is modelled as an ideal gas, and the KE and PE effects are negligible. For the compressor, determine
a) Work input [kJ/kg]
b) Rate of entropy production [kJ/kg?K]
c) The isentropic compressor efficiency
d) T-s diagram of isentropic and real process

MATLAB
The user is supposed to enter either a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in response to a prompt. The script will print “OK, continuing” if the user enters either a ‘y’, ‘Y’,'Yes', or 'yes' or it will print “OK, halting” if the user enters a ‘n’, ‘N’, 'No', or 'no' or will print “Error” if the user enters anything else.
Code this twice once with if and once with switch:
Then recode the example above to keep prompting until an an acceptable yes or no is entered:
What loop should we use?
what should we intialize?
please generate all code for Matlab
