At steady state, a well-insulated compressor takes in

Chapter 4, Problem 4.57

(choose chapter or problem)

At steady state, a well-insulated compressor takes in nitrogen at \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{F}, 14.2 \mathrm{lbf} / \mathrm{in}^{2}\), with a volumetric flow rate of \(1200 \mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{min}\). Compressed nitrogen exits at \(500^{\circ} \mathrm{F}, 120 \mathrm{lbf} / \mathrm{in} .^{2}\) Kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit can be neglected. Determine the compressor power, in hp, and the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in \(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{min}\).
