If each stage operated adiabatically, if the inter cooling were perfect, and if the ratio of discharge pressure for each stage to the inlet pressure were the same for all sages, how many horsepower could be ideally required to drive the compressor? What are the pressures in between-stages? 2200 hp O 2700 hp O 1800 hp O 1500 hp
