Find rate of heat transfer in compressor and surroundings


Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1 atm with a specific enthalpy of 290 kJ/kg and exits at a higher pressure with a specific enthalpy of 1023 kJ/kg. The mass flow rate is 0.1 kg/s. If the compressor power input is 77 kW, determine the rate of heat transfer between the compressor and its surroundings, in kW. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects and use the ideal gas model.
