What is compressor and its function?
A compressor is a machine or tool used to reduce the volume of gas or air and increase pressure. Compressors are used in various applications, such as in industry, agriculture, and household appliances. The compressor generally consists of two main parts: the engine block and the pressure regulator component.

What is an air compressor?
Air compressors are devices that convert power into kinetic energy by compressing and pressurizing air. The compressed air can then be used for a variety of applications, such as powering tools, inflating tires, or operating pneumatic equipment.

Heating Values
In above equation NH2O,P is the number of moles of water in the products. Latent heat for water at STP is hfg= 2.44 MJ/kg = 43.92 MJ/kmol. In combustion literature, the LHV is normally called the enthalpy or heat of combustion (Qc) and is a positive quantity.
