Example # 1: Air at 100 kPa and 280 K is compressed steadily to 600 kPa and 400 K. The mass flow rate of the air is 0.02 kg/s, and a heat loss of 16 kJ/kg occurs during the process. Assuming the change in kinetic and potential energies are neglected, determine the necessary power input to the compressor. Solution: * First step is choosing the units Options > Unit System
