NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.

An adiabatic air compressor compresses 10.2 L/s of air at 120 kPa and 20C to 1000 kPa and 300C. The constant pressure specific heat of air at the average temperature of 160C = 433 K is cP = 1.018 kJ/kgK. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPam3/kgK.

Determine the work required by the compressor. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.)

The work required by the compressor is kJ/kg.
