Helium is to be compressed from 150 kPa and 242 K to 330 kPa and 415 K. If the compressor can generate up to 12.4 kW of mechanical energy, what is the maximum volumetric flow rate of gas leaving the compressor that will still be at the desired exit conditions, if: a) the compressor is adiabatic? S b) the compressor leaks 2 kW of heat out into the surrounding air? m3 S helium
