05. In reciprocating air compressors, isothermal efficiency is used for all sorts of calculations.
06. The operation of lifts, rams and pumps make use of compressed air.
07. For minimum work in multistage compression, the workdone on all stages should be equal.
08. Slip factor in a centrifugal compressor indicates the amount of air leaked from the storage vessel.
09. The perfect intercooling, in multistage compression, means that the temperature of air at inlet to subsequent stages is equal to the initial temperature.
10. The ratio of the isentropic work to the Euler's work is known as pressure coefficient.
