Compressed air is used for multiple operations in industries. The multistage compressors play a vital role for supplying required compressed air at desired pressures. This work describes the design and analysis of cylinder and piston of a two stage reciprocating Air Compressor to the taken specifications for both low pressure and high pressure stages. A finite element model for cylinder and piston is built and analysis of these components is carried by using ANSYS, for both low pressure and high pressure stages during the suction and compression stroke. So as to identify the location of maximum stress concentration and to identify the areas those are likely to fail.
