Sharon runs a boutique. she gets the raw material from a cloth mill owner who provides her various fabrics at discounted rates. she installs a system that automatically analyzes her inventory and coordinates with the cloth mill owner whenever the inventory seems low. in this scenario, sharon displays good business sense and has an efficient:

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
