A four-stage compressor works between limits of 1 bar and 120 bar. The indexof compression in each stage is 1.25, the temperature at the start ofcompression in each stage is 30 ˚C, and the intermediate pressure areselected such that work is divided equally among the stages. If the clearanceis negligible: Calculate: 1. the volume of free air delivered per kilowatt-hour at 1.013 bar and 20 ˚C2. isothermal work input 3. isothermal efficiency.
