A steady state flow compressor draws in 14170 li/min of air whose density is 1.267 kg/m3 and discharge it with density of 4.88 kg/m3. At the suction, P1-103.42 kPa, at the discharge, p2=551.584 kPa. Thge increase in specific internal energy is 78.45 kJ/kg and the heat from air by cooling is 30.173 kJ/kg. Neglecting the change of potential and kinetic energy, determine the work done on the system in kJ/min.
