Question: Methane is compressed adiabatically in a pipeline pumping station from 3 , 5 0 0 kPa and 3 5 C to 5 , 5 0

Methane is compressed adiabatically in a pipeline pumping station from 3,500kPa and 35C to 5,500kPa at the rate of 1.4kmol*s-1. If
the compressor efficiency is 0.78, what is the power requirement of the compressor and what is the discharge temperature of the
methane? The heat capacity coefficients are given in the table below.
