Aerospace Engineering > GATE 2016 > Axial Compressors
An axial compressor operates such that it has an inlet and an exit total temperature of 300 K and 430 K, respectively. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 85%. If the ratio of specific heats is 1.4, then the total pressure ratio across the compressor is
