12. For a multi-stage compressor, the polytropic efficiency is constant throughout for all the stages.
TRUE
FALSE
✅ The correct answer is option A.
13. The compressor capacity will be __________ if the temperature of intake air is lowest.
lowest
highest
✅ The correct answer is option B.
14. In a high pressure compressor, the delivery pressure is
1 to 5 bar
5 to 8 bar
8 to 10 bar
10 to 15 bar
✅ The correct answer is option C.
15. The intercooler pressure, for minimum work required, for a two stage reciprocating air compressor, is given by (where p1 = Intake pressure of air, p2 = Intercooler pressure, and p3 = Delivery pressure of air)
p2 = p1 x p3
p2 = p1/p3
p2 = p1 x p3
p2 = p3/p1
