Homework Statement
Hi I would like you guys to help me with this problem
Air is to be compressed steadily and isentropically from 1 atm to 25 atm by a two-stage compressor. To minimize the total compression work, the intermediate pressure between the two stages must be
(a) 3 atm (b) 5 atm (c) 8 atm (d) 10 atm (e) 13 atm
Homework Equations
(a) 3 atm (b) 5 atm (c) 8 atm (d) 10 atm (e) 13 atm
P=sqrt(P1*P2)
The Attempt at a Solution
I found that this pressure can be calculated with the square root of the product of those two pressures, however, i want to know where that equation comes from
thanks!
