Why is a thermos considered a (mostly) closed system? thermoses come in different shapes and sizes
different types of liquids
stayhot
matter and energy cannot enter or leave the system when the thermos lid is on
tightly
different types of hot or cold items can be stored in a thermos

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
