Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines
For a two stage reciprocating compressor, compression from p₁ to p₃ is with perfect intercooling and no pressure losses. If compression in both the cylinders follows the same polytropic process and the atmospheric pressure is pa, then the intermediate pressure p₂ is given by

p₂ = p₁. p₃
p₂ = (p₁ + p₃)/2
P₂ = Pa × p₃/p₁
p₂ = Pa p₃/p₁

Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines
In n₁ and n₂ are the indices of compression for the first and second stage of compression, then the ratio of work-done on the first and second stages (W₁/W₂) with perfect intercooling is given by

W₁/W₂ = n₁(n₂ - 1)/n₂(n₁ - 1)
W₁/W₂ = n₂(n₁ - 1)/n₁(n₂ - 1)
W₁/W₂ = n₁/n₂
W₁/W₂ = n₂/n₁
