Nitrogen gas at 90° F (MW=28) goes through a compressor, increasing its pressure from 10 psi to 65 psi. The temperature remained constant throughout. Determine the work in Hp for a steady flow process; ΔKE=0, ΔPE=0; mass flow rate of nitrogen is 2 lbm/min. Round up to 4 decimal places. Draw and label the P-V and T-S diagrams.
