🔍 Key Concepts

• Gas laws relating pressure, volume, and temperature (Boyle’s Law and general gas behavior) • The difference between isothermal (constant temperature) and adiabatic (no heat exchange) compression • How interstage cooling in a multi‑stage compressor affects air temperature and required work

💭 Think About

• When air is compressed, what normally happens to its temperature, and how does that change the work required for further compression? • If you cool the air between stages, what happens to its specific volume (space it occupies) before the next stage compresses it? • Which option best reflects the typical design goal of adding intercoolers between compressor stages: to use more power, the same power, or less power for the same final pressure?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what isothermal compression actually means in theory and whether typical intercooling fully achieves that in practice. • Think about whether cooling a gas makes it easier or harder to compress further for the same pressure rise. • Eliminate any options that contradict the basic principle that removing heat between stages changes both temperature and required work for compression.
