An air compressor handles 8.5 m³/min of air with a density of 1.26 kg/m³ and a pressure of I atm, and it discharges at 445 kPa (gage) with a density of 4.86 kgfm³ .The change 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 and potential energies, find the power in kW.
