Determine the power input to the compressor


A steam compressor is used to increase the pressure of saturated water vapor at 1000 kpa to 1500 kpa. The flow rate is 45 kg/h, and the discharge temperature is 400 C. A heat loss of 1.0 kw is measured. Neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy. Determine the power input (kw) to the compressor.
