COMPRESSOR DESIGN An isothermal compressor is required to compresses $1\mathrm{kg}$ of oxygen per second at $231\mathrm{K}$ from $100\mathrm{kPa}$ to $1\mathrm{MPa}$. Treat Oxygen as an ideal gas. (a) Determine the necessary engine power. (b) To maintain isothermal conditions sufficient heat must be dissipated. Determine the required heat dissipation rate. [Ans: (a) $138.2\mathrm{kW}$; (b) Q= $?138\mathrm{kW}$ )
