A.

prevention of seizure of piston due to high temperature 

B.

increase in mass of air taken in during the intake stroke 

C.

prevention of damage to compressor valves due to high temperature of compression

D.

reduction in the work required for compression 

Answer ( Option D)

reduction in the work required for compression 

Solution

●Water jacketingin cylinder of a reciprocating piston-cylinder air compressor leads to the reduction in the work required for compression.
