Question

The multistage compression of air as compare to single stage compression:

A.

Improves volumetric efficiency for the given pressure ratio 

B.

Increases work done per kg of air 

C.

Does not improve volumetric efficiency for the given pressure ratio 

D.

Gives less uniform torque 

Answer ( Option A)

Improves volumetric efficiency for the given pressure ratio 

Solution

Following are the advantages of multi-stage compression over single-stage compression:

The fluid can be compressed to very high pressure.

Volumetric efficiency of compressor increases due to reduced pressure ratio in each stage.

It reduces work of compression per kg of refrigerant.

It gives more uniform torque, hence size of flywheel is reduced.

Heat removal during condensation is reduced hence size of condenser is reduced.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
