A steady flow compressor is used to compress helium from 15

A steady flow compressor is used to compress helium from 15 psia and 70 F at the inlet to 200 psia and 600 F at the outlet The outlet area and velocity are 0 01 ft and 100 ft s respectively and the inlet velocity is 55 000 ft s Determine the mass flow rate and the inlet area The gas constant of helium is R 2 6809 psia ft lbm R Ibm s Round the final answer to five decimal places ft2 Round the final answer to three decimal places The mass flow rate is The inlet area is
