Calculate power required to drive steady-flow compressor


Calculate the power required to drive a steady-flow compressor if air flowing at a rate of 1kg/s enters at 100kPa, Temp=20C with a velocity od 60m/s and leaves at 240kPa, Temp=60C with a velocity of 120m/s. Heat transfer from the air to the cooling water circulating through the compressor casing amounts to 19kJ/kg of air.
