Air enters an insulated compressor at ambient conditions, 100 kPa, 20C, at the rate of 0.1 kg/s

Question:

Air enters an insulated compressor at ambient conditions, 100 kPa, 20°C, at the rate of 0.1 kg/s and exits at 200°C. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 70%. What is the exit pressure? How much power is required to drive the compressor? Assume the ideal and actual compressor has the same exit pressure.
