A single cylinder, single acting air compressor has a cylinder diameter of 150 mm and stroke of 300 mm. It draws air into the cylinder at a pressure of 1 bar and temperature 270C. This air is then compressed adiabatically to a pressure of 8 bars if the compressor runs at a speed of 120 rpm,

find:

power required to drive the compressor. Neglect the clearance volume and take R = 0.287 kJ/kgK.
