1-3 A multistage air compressor compresses air from 1 bar to 40 bar. The maximum temperature in any stage is not to exeed 400k. If the low of compression for all the stages is puts const. and the initial temperature is 300k, find the i) Number of stages for minimum power ii) Intermediate pressure for optimum compression as well as the power needed.
