Question: A shop air ( = 0 . 2 4 Btu / lbm - R , = 0 . 1 7 2 Btu / lbm -

A shop air (=0.24 Btu/lbm-R,=0.172 Btu/lbm-R) compressor rated at 1-(1)/(2) horsepower is operating steadily while dissipating 600 Btu/hr of heat to the surroundings. If the air temperature is increased by 50 degrees (F) with an exit volume flow rate of 45 cfm (cubic feet per minute) determine the density of air (lbm/ft3) exiting the compressor.
