An air compressor is defined as a machine that uses electric motor or gas engine to power a device that sucks in successive volumes of air from the atmosphere and compresses (squeezes) each volume of air in a confined place to increase its pressure by making the volume smaller, and then transfer the high-pressure air to a receiver tank. How can you reduce a certain power requirement for a single-stage compressor? Show some proof theoretically.
