Compressor Calculation, Using Thermo Utilities, MS Excel Add-ins

Air at 1.013 bar and 25 C with 0.005 specific humidity enters to a compressor with a pressure ratio of 10/1. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 0.82. Calculate the temperature, specific enthalpy, and specific entropy of air at the outlet. If the air intake is 5 kg/s, what is the compressor work on the fluid?
