If p₁ is the pressure of air entering the L.P, cylinder and p₃ is the pressure of air leaving the H.P. cylinder, then the ratio of cylinder diameters for a single acting, two stage reciprocating compressor with complete intercooling is given by

D₁/D₂ = (p₁/p₃)1/4
D₁/D₂ = (p₁ p₃)1/4
D₁/D₂ = (p₃/p₁)1/4
D₁/D₂ = (p₁ p₃)1/2

Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines
For a two stage reciprocating compressor, compression from p₁ to p₃ is with perfect intercooling and no pressure losses. If compression in both the cylinders follows the same polytropic process and the atmospheric pressure is pa, then the intermediate pressure p₂ is given by

p₂ = Pa p₃/p₁
P₂ = Pa × p₃/p₁
p₂ = (p₁ + p₃)/2
p₂ = p₁. p₃
