Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines
If p₁, is the pressure of air entering the L.P. cylinder and p₂ is the pressure of air leaving the L.P. cylinder (or inter-cooler pressure), then the ratio of cylinder diameters for a single acting, two stage reciprocating air compressor with complete intercooling is given by (where D₁ = Dia. of L.P. cylinder, and D₂ = Dia. of H.P. cylinder)

D₁/D₂ = p₁ p₂
D₁/D₂ = p₂/p₁
None of these
D₁/D₂ = p₁/p₂

Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines
The overall isothermal efficiency of the compressor is defined as the ratio of

Isentropic power to the power required to drive the compressor
Volume of free air delivery per stroke to the swept volume of the piston
Isothermal power to the shaft power or B.P. of the motor or engine required to drive the compressor
Work required to compress the air isothermally to the actual work required to compress the air for the same pressure ratio
