    The work flow required by the compressor = 100.67Kj/kg

    Explanation:

    The solution to this question is obtained from the energy balance where the initial and final specific internal energies and enthalpies are taken from A-17 table from the given temperatures using interpolation.

    The work flow can be determined using the equation:

    M1h1 + W = Mh2

    U1 + P1alph1 + ◇U + Workflow = U2 + P2alpha2

    Workflow = P2alpha2 - P1alpha1

    Workflow = (h2 - U2) - (h1 - U1)

    Workflow = (684.344 - 491.153) - (322.483 - 229.964)

    Workflow = (193.191 - 92.519) Kj/kg

    Workflow = 100.672Kj/kg
