    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    The compressor efficiency is the Isothermal H.P/indicated H.R The mechanical efficiency varies with compressor size and type, but 95% is a useful planning number. When calculating the compressor head and discharge temperature the efficiency used will be isentropic or polytropic
