Calculate power required to drive compressor and heat loss


Air compressor is used to compress 0.03 kg/s atmospheric air from 1 bar and 25oC to 10 bar. If the compression process is polytropic and follows the relation PV1.3=constant, calculate the power required to drive the compressor and the heat loss. Consider the pipe diameter at the inlet is 5 cm and that at the exit is 2 cm.
