    Power required for compression

    Hello I have been trying to calculate the theoretical power required for compression of a small portable 2 stage air compressor with the following spec. Volume flow rate Q = 2x10-5 m3/s Inlet pressure P1 = 1 Bar (105Pa) Outlet pressure = 200 Bar interstage pressure Px = 14 Bar k = 1.4 N =...
