Question: Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at a pressure of 1 bar, a Temperature of 2 9 0 K and a velocity of

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at a pressure of 1 bar, a Temperature of 290 K and a velocity of 6ms through an inlet with an area of 0.1m2. At the exit the pressure is 7 bar , the temperature is 450 K , and the velocity is 2ms. Heat transfer from the compressor to its surroundings occurs at a rate of 180kJmin. Assuming idea gas properties, calculate the compressor power requirement in kW. Please cite your source for air property data.
