Blower Power Calculation

The document provides information about the power requirement for adiabatic compression of air. It lists the power output of an air blower as 8.976575 kW with an air flow rate of 0.189788 kg/s. It also provides the gas constant, inlet and outlet temperatures and pressures, efficiency, and other constants needed to calculate the power requirement for compressing air adiabatically from 293K and 101325Pa to 156325Pa.
