If the compression ratio for a 4 stage compressor is 3.6. What is the final pressure?
A) 850 psia
B) 989 psia
C) 1,890 psig
D) 2,469 psia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The final pressure is calculated by multiplying the initial pressure by the compression ratio raised to the power of the number of stages. Assuming an initial pressure of 14.7 psia (standard atmospheric pressure), the calculation is 14.7 * (3.6^4) = 2,469 psia.
