During a steady flow process, the pressure of the working substance drops from 200 to 20 psig, the speed increases from 100 to 800 fps, The internal energy of the open system increases by 15 Btu/lbm, and the specific volume increases from 1 to 10 ft3/lb. The heat lost of the open system is equivalent to 1 kW. Determine the work in hp for a mass flow rate of 12 lbm per min
