An air compressor takes in air at 30 °C and 100 kPa and then compressed adiabatically until its pressure is 500 kPa. Determine the final temperature and the minimum work input to perform this process by compressor per unit mass of air. (Assuming air has constant specific heats evaluated at 127 °C).
