Variables Used
Input Power - (Measured in Watt) - Input Power is the power, which is required by the appliance at its input i.e., from the plug point.
Mass of Air - (Measured in Kilogram per Minute) - Mass of air is both a property of air and a measure of its resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied.
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure means the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of gas by 1 degree at constant pressure.
Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression - (Measured in Kelvin) - Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression is greater than the ideal temperature.
Actual temperature of Rammed Air - (Measured in Kelvin) - Actual temperature of Rammed Air is equal to the ideal temperature of Rammed Air.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Mass of Air: 120 Kilogram per Minute --> 120 Kilogram per Minute No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure: 1.005 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K --> 1005 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)
Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression: 350 Kelvin --> 350 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Actual temperature of Rammed Air: 273 Kelvin --> 273 Kelvin No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Pin = (ma*Cp*(Tt'-T2'))/60 --> (120*1005*(350-273))/60
Evaluating ... ...
Pin = 154770
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
154770 Watt -->9286.19999999998 Kilojoule per Minute (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
9286.19999999998 9286.2 Kilojoule per Minute <-- Input Power
