Compression or Expansion Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Compression or Expansion Ratio = Pressure at End of Isentropic Compression/Pressure at Start of Isentropic Compression
rp = P2/P1
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Compression or Expansion Ratio - Compression or Expansion Ratio for known pressures.
Pressure at End of Isentropic Compression - (Measured in Pascal) - The Pressure at End of Isentropic Compression is the intermediate pressure in the cycle from where isobaric cooling starts.
Pressure at Start of Isentropic Compression - (Measured in Pascal) - The Pressure at Start of Isentropic Compression is the pressure at which the cycle starts.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Pressure at End of Isentropic Compression: 10 Bar --> 1000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Pressure at Start of Isentropic Compression: 4 Bar --> 400000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
rp = P2/P1 --> 1000000/400000
Evaluating ... ...
rp = 2.5
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.5 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
2.5 <-- Compression or Expansion Ratio
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
