5. A steady state, steady flow compressor draws in 240 liters per second of air whose density is 1.26
kg m /m 3 and discharges it with a density of 4.9 kg m /m 3 . At suction P 1 = 104 kPaa; at discharge, P 2 = 551
kPaa. The increase of specific internal energy is 78.5 kJ/kg m and the heat from the air by cooling is 30
kJ/kg m . Neglecting the change in potential and kinetic energies, determine the work in kJ/min.
