Consider a reciprocating air compressor with two-stage, 6.8 m/min free air delivery at atmospheric conditions of 107 kPa and 19 °C, respectively. The polytropic compression index is 1.21, while the delivery pressure is 2,294 kPa. The mechanical and motor- drive efficiencies are 85% and 93%, respectively. Accept complete inter-cooling and neglect clearance volumes. What is the delivery air temperature in C to no decimal place?
