Compute the power required to drive the compressor


Solve the below problem:

Q: Air enters an adiabatic compressor at 100 kPa and 17°C at a rate of 2.4 m3/s, and it exits at 257°C. The compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 84 percent. Neglecting the changes in kinetic and potential energies, determine

(a) the exit pressure of air and

(b) the power required to drive the compressor.
