Determine compressor power for steady-state operation


Air enters a compressor with a pressure of 14.7 psia, a temperature of 70 degreeF, and a volumetric flow rate of 40 ft^3/s. Air exits the compressor at 50 psia and 190 degreeF. Heat transfer from the compressor to its surroundings occurs at a rate of 20.5 Btu per lb of air flowing. Determine the compressor power, in hp, for steady-state operation.
