If the compression ratio for a 3 stage compressor is 3.2. What is the final pressure?
A) 481.7 psia
B) 212.3 psig
C) 67.4 psia
D) 180.5 psia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The final pressure is calculated by raising the compression ratio to the power of the number of stages and multiplying by the initial pressure. Assuming an initial pressure of 14.7 psia (atmospheric pressure), the calculation is: (3.2^3) * 14.7 = 481.7 psia.
