Compute compressor power and volumetric flow rate


At steady state, a well-insulated compressor takes in air at 80 F, 14.2 psi, with a volumetric flow rate of 1000 ft^3/min, and compresses it to 450 F, 120 psi. Kinetic and potential energy changes from the intlet to exit can be neglected. Determine the compressor power, in hp, and the volumetric flow rate at the exit in units of ft^3/min.
