Math Problem Statement
Helium is to be compressed from 120 kPa and 320 K to 800 kPa, and 450 K., A heat loss of 20 kJ/kg, occurs during the compression process, as shown in Figure 1 below. Neglecting kinetic energy changes, determine the power input required for a mass flow rate of 90 kg/min.

Formulas
First Law of Thermodynamics for steady-flow: \dot{Q} - \dot{W} = \dot{m} \cdot (\Delta h)
Change in enthalpy: \Delta h = c_p \cdot (T_2 - T_1)
Heat transfer rate: \dot{Q} = \dot{m} \cdot q
