This lecture covers the ideal compression process in power cycles and heat pumps, including isobaric suction, compression, isobaric discharge, and expansion. It also discusses real compression processes, volumetric efficiency, clearance volume effects, over- and under-compression, theoretical efficiency, isentropic efficiency, and comparison to measured data.
