Explain working of compressor.

The compression of gases may be accomplished in equipment with rotating blades (like a turbine operating in reverse) or in cylinders with reciprocating pistons. Rotary equipment is used for high-volume flow where the discharge pressure is not too high. For high pressures, reciprocating compressors are often required. The energy equations are independent of the type of equipment; indeed, they are the same as for turbines or expanders because here, too, potential and kinetic energy changes are presumed negligible.
