. Common household appliances are rated at 110 V, but power companies deliver voltage in the kilovolt range and then step the voltage down using transformers to 110 V to be used in homes. You will learn in later chapters that transformers consist of many turns of wire, which warm up as current flows through them, wasting some of the energy that is given off as heat. This sounds inefficient. Why do the power companies transport electric power using this method

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05 bar, 300 k, with a volumetric flow rate of 93 m3/min and exits at 12 bar, 400 k. heat transfer occurs at a rate of 15.5 kw from the compressor to its surroundings. assuming the ideal gas model for air neglecting kinetic potential energy effects, determine the power in put in kw.
