What is "isothermal compression" and its definition in practise ? Please choose correct option. a. It is a compression during which temparature of the air is kept constant. Compression process should be done very slowly to allow any heat to transfer to the surrounding medium. b. It is the expansion of air in a motor, during which it is heated and given extra energy. c. It is the periodic compression and expansion of a gas in a compressor as to load and unload energy to it. d. It is the compression of air in a compressor, which is neither running too fast or too slow, suitable for practical purposes. e. It is the compression of air in a heat-insulated cylinder, but compression should be very slow.

Why is information regarding the specific volume of gases important to the designer of air-conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment?
Question 4 A single acting two stage reciprocating compressor takes in air at a rate of 0.2 m3/s at a pressure of 0.1 MPa @ 16˚C. The air is compressed to 0.7 MPa while running at 600 rpm. Compression is ideal and the process follows pV1.25 = C. Perfect intercooling takes place and neglecting clearance. What is the Intermediate pressure (IP) in kPa .............., the volume of the Low-Pressure cylinder in m3................... , the volume of the High-Pressure cylinder in m3.................. and the Total Cycle Power (TCP) in kW .....................
