A two stage air compressor takes in air at 1.013 bar and 15° C and delivers at 43.4 bar. The intercooler pressure is 7.56 bar. The intercooling is perfect and the index of compression is 1.3. Calculate the work done in compressing 1 kg of air. If both cylinders have the same stroke and the piston diameters are 9 cm and 3 cm and the volumetric efficiency of the compressor is 90%, will the intercooler pressure be steady or will rise or fall as the compressor continues working?
