A gas compressor receives an ideal gas mixture of 60% N2, 30% O2, and 10% CO (by volume) at a rate of 3.5 ft3/s. The mixture enters at 70°F and 14.7 psia, and exits at 250°F, experiencing a heat loss of 30 Btu/lbm during the process. Determine the power consumed by the compressor (a) assuming constant specific heats for the gases and (b) considering the specific heats to be variable.
