Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 14 lbf/in?, 60°F, with a volumetric flow rate of 6400 ft/min. The compression occurs in two stages, with each stage being a polytropic process with n- 1.27. The air is cooled to 80°F between the stages by an intercooler operating at 45 Ibf/in?. Air exits the compressor at 150 lbf/in?.
