Heat and work are

A compressor undergoes a reversible, steady flow process. The gas at inlet and outlet of the compressor is designated as state $$1$$ and state $$2$$ respectively. Potential and kinetic energy changes are to be ignored. The following notations are used:
$$v=$$ specific volume and $$P=$$ pressure of the gas.
The specific work required to be supplied to the compressor for this gas compression process is

For reversible adiabatic compression in a steady flow process, the work transfer per unit mass is
