Oxygen is compressed from 1 bar, 25 C, to 150 bar. To avoid overheating, compression is done

Question:

Oxygen is compressed from 1 bar, 25 °C, to 150 bar. To avoid overheating, compression is done in stages followed by intercooling with water at 30 °C so that the temperature exiting each stage of the compressor does not exceed 200 °C. Using data from the NIST WebBook, determine the number of stages, the work in each stage, and the amount of cooling, if the efficiency of all stages is 80%.
