Problem \#4) (20 points) A Compressor used in gas turbine engine increases the pressure of 3000lbm/min of air from 15 psia to 150 psia without changing the kinetic or potential energy of the air. If the enthalpy of entering air is 118Btu/lbm and that of the compressed air is 230Btu/lbm, determine the power required in horsepower to drive the compressor if it is assumed to be reversible and adiabatic (Q=0)
