Question: Hydrogen ( MW - 2 ) at 1 . 2 atm pressure abs and at 3 0 0 K is sent to an isothermal compressor

Hydrogen (MW-2) at 1.2 atm pressure abs and at 300K is sent to an isothermal compressor and is compressed to 4.8 atm abs at the compressor and sent from the compressor into a horizontal pipe 50 mm in diameter and 5 km in length. The pressure at the pipe outlet is measured as 1 atm als. What is the power required for the compressor if =0.6 and the mass flow rate of the gas? Flow conditions are isothermal and the temperature of the gas is 300K Take f-0.01
