In a large refrigeration plant it is necessary to compress a fluid, which we willassume to be an ideal gas with constant heat capacity, from a low pressure P1 to a a much higher pressure P2. If the compression is done in a single compressor that operates reversibly and adiabatically, obtain an expression for the work needed for the compression in terms of the mass flow rate, P1, P2, and the initial temperature, T1.

Air at a rate of 50 m3/min enters an adiabatic compressor at a pressure of 100 kPa and a temperature of 24.3 C and exits at 500 kPa and 189.55 C.
