    compressor impeller is 0.3 m in diameter. The axial velocity at inlet is 120 m/s
    and the mass flow rate is 10 kg/s. The velocity in the delivery duct is 110 m/s.

    isentropic efficiency of 80%. The inlet stagnation temperature and pressure are
    and 300 K. Calculate (a) the static temperatures and pressures at inlet and outlet
    of the compressor, (b) the static pressure ratio, (c) the power required to drive
    the compressor.
