A three-stage, single-acting air compressor with a polytropic index of 1.22 in all stages, runs in an atmosphere at 101.3 kPa and 25 °C. It has a FAD of 4.2 m³/min with a delivery pressure of 1.8 MPa. Induction occurs at 92 kPa and 34 °C. The mechanical and motor-drive efficiencies are 88% and 93% respectively. Assume complete inter- cooling and neglect clearance volumes. Cp = 1.006 kJ/kg K Cv = 0.717 kJ/kg K
