Air flows steadily at the rate of 0.5 kg/s through an air compressor, entering at 7 m/s speed, 100 kPa pressure and 0.95 m³ /kg specific volume, and leaving at 5 m/s, 700 kPa, and 0.19 m3 /kg. The internal energy of the air leaving is 90 kJ/kg greater than that of the air entering. Cooling water in the compressor jackets absorbs heat from the air at the rate of 58 kW. Compute the work in kW.

PROBLEM 3
Air flows steadily at the rate of 0.5 kg/s through an air
compressor, entering at 7 m/s speed, 100 kPa pressure and
0.95 m3 /kg specific volume, and leaving at 5 m/s, 700 kPa,
and 0.19 m³ /kg. The internal energy of the air leaving is 90
kJ/kg greater than that of the air entering. Cooling water in
the compressor jackets absorbs heat from the air at the
rate of 58 kW. Compute the work in kW.
