Advantages of multi-staging
Intercooling
Perfect intercooling.
Imperfect intercooling.
Volumetric efficiency:It is the ratio of actual volume of the free air delivered
at standard atmospheric condition in one delivery stroke
to the swept volume by the piston during the stroke.
Isothermal efficiency:It is defined as the ratio of isothermal power to the
indicated power.
Mechanical efficiency:It is the ratio of indicated power to the shaft(Brake)
Power.
