There is clearly mentioned about four stage it means;

(P2/P1)*(P3*P2)*(P4*P3)*(P5*P4)= 4*4*4*4=256.
So, the right answer is D.

In third stage, why intercooler isb fitted. And how the pressure is increasing? Can anyone briefly destribe about this topic?

For multi satge compressor p2/p1=p3/p2=p4/p3,
p2/p1=p3/p2 from here we get p2=4 then by this relation p4/p3=p3/p2,
p4=64.

The answer must be" D".

Because delivery pressure at the fourth stage means we should find P5, not P4. So P5 = 4^4.

We know that p2 = (p1p3)^(1/2).

Therefore p2 = (1*16)^(1/2),
p2 = 4 bar.

Therefore P4/p2=p3/p1,
P4 = 64 bar.

The answer can get by following this one P2/P1 = P3/P2 = P4/P3.

P2/p1 = p3/p2 = p4/p3 By using this we will get the answer.

The delivery of forth stage = p5.

p5 = 256.

How to came 64 please explain the example?

Anj said:   8 years ago
Fourth stage means P5/P4 = 4*4*4*4 = 256.
