Which outcome increases when intercooling fails within a multistage air compressor?

💡 Explanation

Increased outlet temperatures means greater specific volume, because intercooling aims to reduce the gas temperature between compression states using heat exchangers. Therefore, volumetric efficiency declines rather than adiabatic efficiency increasing, due to suboptimal compression after each stage.
