Air enters a compressor at a pressure of 74.7 kPa and 287 K and leaves at 622 kPa and 579 K. The air flow rate is 50 kg/s. Calculate the shaft power input required to drive the compressor. Hint: The shaft power that goes into the compressor increases the total enthalpy of the air from the inlet to the exit, since there is no heat into the system.
