An ideal gas at 101 kPa and 27 degrees C enters a steady-flow compressor. The gas is compressed to 404 kPa, and 10% of the mass that entered the compressor is removed for some other use. The remaining 90% of the inlet gas is compressed to 580 kPa before leaving the compressor. The entire compression process is assumed to be reversible and adiabatic. The power supplied to the compressor is measured to be 32.2 kW. If the ideal gas has constant specific heats such that c(v)=0.71 kJ/kg*K and c(p)=1.26 kJ/kg*K,

determine the temperature of the gas at the two compressor exits
determine the mass flow rate of the gas into the compressor
