16.
Intercooling in multi-stage compressors is done
to cool the air during compression
to cool the air at delivery
to enable compression in two stages
to minimise the work of compression

17.
For a two stage reciprocating compressor, compression from p1 to p3 is with perfect intercooling and no pressure losses. If compression in both the cylinders follows the same polytropic process and the atmospheric pressure is pa, then the intermediate pressure p2 is given by
p2 = (p1 + p3)/2
p2 = p1.p3
P2 = Pa x p3/p1
p2 = pa p3/p1
