Investigate the effect of varying mass flow rate ( m in kg/s) of the cooling water on heat input to the compressor and heat removed by the cooling water.  In order to solve this task, you have to assume different mass flow rates to investigate the relationship between mass flow rate, heat input to the compressor, and heat removed by the cooling water, you can use Matlab or EES and present your results in a graph form.
