Compressor is the device which is used to compress the fluid and increase its pressure. That means power input is required.
What thermodynamic process is a compressor?
In general, in a compressor, the compression process is polytrophic and it lies in between isothermal and isentropic, if effective cooling is done in compressor. In this case efficiency of compressor (Ratio of theoretical work to actual work) used is isothermal efficiency.
