A compressor used in a gas turbine engine increases the


A compressor used in a gas turbine engine increases the pressure of 3000 lbm/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 118 btu/lbm and that of the compressed air is 230 btu/lbm, determine the power required in horsepower to drive the compressor if it is assumed to be reversible and adiabatic.
