Engine Turbochargers and Intercoolers. The power output of an automobile engine is directly proportional to the mass of air that can be forced into the volume of the engine's cylinders to react chemically with gasoline. Many cars have a turbocharger, which compresses the air before it enters the engine, giving a greater mass of air per volume. This rapid, essentially adiabatic compression also heats the air. To compress it further, the air then passes through an intercooler in which the air exchanges heat with its surroundings at essentially constant pressure. The air is then drawn into the cylinders. In a typical installation, air is taken into the turbocharger at atmospheric pressure \(\left(1.01 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}\right)\), density \(\rho=1.23 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3\), and temperature \(15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). It is compressed adiabatically to \(1.45 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}\). In the intercooler, the air is cooled to the original temperature of \(15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) at a constant pressure of \(1.45 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}\). (a) Draw a \(p V\)-diagram for this sequence of processes. (b) If the volume of one of the engine's cylinders is \(575 \mathrm{~cm}^3\), what mass of air exiting from the intercooler will fill the cylinder at \(1.45 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}\)?

(c) If the intercooler is not used, what mass of air exiting from the turbocharger will fill the cylinder at \(1.45 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}\)? Compared to the power output of an engine that takes in air at \(1.01 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}\) at \(15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), what percentage increase in power is obtained by using the turbocharger alone?
