6. An insulated air compressor receives 3 ft³/sec of air from the surrounding at 14.7 psi and 75°C. The air exits the compressor at 75 psi and 420°F. Assuming that there are no significant changes in potential or kinetic energy,

determine the power consumed by the compressor using an assumption of constant specific heat. [MO2, MO3, MO4]
