The inter-cooler pressure, for minimum work required, for a two stage reciprocating air compressor, is given by (where p₁ = Intake pressure of air, p₂ = Inter-cooler pressure, and p₃ = Delivery pressure of air)

The inter-cooler pressure, for minimum work required, for a two stage reciprocating air compressor, is given by (where p₁ = Intake pressure of air, p₂ = Inter-cooler pressure, and p₃ = Delivery pressure of air) Correct Answer p₂ = p₁ × p₂

Answer: Option 3

The inter-cooler pressure, for minimum work required, for a two stage reciprocating air compressor, is given by p₂ = p₁ × p₂ where p₁ = Intake pressure of air, p₂ = Inter-cooler pressure, and p₃ = Delivery pressure of air

If p1, is the pressure of air entering the L.P. cylinder and p2 is the pressure of air leaving the L.P. cylinder (or inter-cooler pressure), then the ratio of cylinder diameters for a single acting, two stage reciprocating air compressor with complete intercooling is given by (where D1 = Diameter of L.P. cylinder and D2 = Diameter of H.P. cylinder)
