A thermally uninsulated reversible compressor is used to isothermally compress air with a constant mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/sec. The inlet conditions are 0.08 MPa and 45°C, and the

exit pressure is0.8 MPa. Assuming that the air is an ideal gas, calculate the magnitude of the power required.Present your answer in kW using 5 significant figures.
