Question

An air compressor handles 8.5 m3/min of air with a density of 1.26 kg/m3 and a pressure of 101 KPaa and discharges at 564 KPaa with a density of 4.86 kg/m3. The changes in specific internal energy across the compressor is 82 KJ/kg and the heat loss by cooling is 24 KJ/kg. Neglecting changes in kinetic energy and potential energy, find the work in KW.
