a compressor installed at a whalf for loading


A compressor installed at a whalf (for loading container ships) is able to provide 6 bar.g pressure into the pressure reciever. The compressor is moved to a site that is 5000 ft above sea level (atmospheric pressure 0.85 bar.a) in the mountains. What is the discharge revised discharge pressure (guage pressure) of the compressor ? 

Assume there is no change in temperature.  

Part (b) Is the assumption of change in temperature valid for calculating the discharge pressure of the compressor ?  

Part (c) The temperature at the whalf is 35 oC and in the mountains is 19 oC, what is the reduction in volumetic output from the compressor ?
