lower power consumption per unit of air delivered

higher volumetric efficiency

decreased discharge temperature

all of the above.

better lubrication is possible advantages of multistage

more loss of air due to leakage past the cylinder

mechanical balance is better

air can be cooled perfectly in between

remain unaffected

may increase/decrease depending on compressor clearance
