Question: A single - stage reciprocating air compressor is required to compress 7 2 m 3 of air per minute from 1 5 deg C

A single-stage reciprocating air compressor is required to compress 72 m3 of air per
minute from 15\deg C and 1.0 bar to 8 bar pressure. Find the temperature at the end of
compression, work done, power, and heat rejected during each of the following
processes: (a) isothermal, (b) adiabatic, and (c) polytropic compression following the law
pV1.25= constant.
