There are required 1902.3 kW of compressor power to handle air adiabatically from 1 atm, 26.7 C to 304.06 kPaa. The initial velocity air velocity is 21 m/s and the final velocity is 85 m/s. a). If the process is isentropic, find the volume of air handled, m3/min measured at inlet conditions. b). If the compression is an irreversible adiabatic to a temperature of 157.2 C, with the capacity found in (a), find the power input, kW
