Find compressor power and volumetric flow rate at the exit


At steady state, a well-insulated compressor takes in air at 60 degrees F, 14.2 lbf/in^2, with a volumetric flow rate of 1200 ft^3/min, and compresses it to 500 degrees F, 120 lbf/in^2. Kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit can be neglected. Determine the compressor power, in hp, and the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in ft^3/min.
