Question

A low pressure air compressor develops a pressure of 0.145 bar. If the initial and the final
states of air are p1=1.02 bar, T1=300 K, and T2 =314 K, estimate the isentropic and
infinitesimal stage efficiencies. A second compressor changes the state of air from initial states
of p1=1.02 bar, T1=300 K to p2=2.52 bar with an efficiency of 75 %. Determine the
infinitesimal efficiency of this compressor. Explain the large deviation in the efficiency of this
compressor from that of the low pressure compressor.
