Air at 100 kPa and 280 K is compressed steadily to 600 kPa and 400 K. The mass flow rate of the air is 1.8 kg/s, and the necessary energy input to the compressor is 221 kJ/kg. Assuming the changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible, determine the rate of heat loss that occurs during the process in kW.
