The inlet and outlet air temperature of a centrifugal flow compressor are 70^oF and 120^oF respectively (See Figure 1). The air flow steadily at a mass flow rate of 24 lb_m/min. If the compressor is adiabatic, determine the rate of work at which the air is being compressed. In addition, express you answer in the corresponding metric units. Specify the necessary applicable assumptions.
