Make a detailed quantitative comparison (can find percent difference in work or power) of the one and two-stage compressorsshowing and explaining the advantages of having 2 stages. Comment on effects of temperatures and its repercussions, along with the economics of compressor operations for the 2 configurations. For example, calculate for both compressors the parameter ratios:"hp/100scfm" and "hp/scfm", along with the inverse ratio "scfm/hp" and draw conclusions, especially considering some parameters are a measure of motor and/or compressor size needed to deliver a quantity of air while other parameters are a measure of efficiency in terms of "a larger number is better" meaning cheaper to operate (i.e., more efficient)
