The schematic of a two stage air compressor with an intercooler is shown.
The temperature of air after first stage compression is _____°C. (Assume all process to be ideal and optimal)
157.94
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A 157.94
Since intercooling is optimal.
P2=√P1P4=√100×1600=400kPa
Also compression in compressor 1 is reversible and adiabatic.
