Chapter 14, Problem 30P(choose chapter or problem)
QUESTION:
(I) In an internal combustion engine, air at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of about \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is compressed in the cylinder by a piston to \(\frac{1}{9}\) of its original volume (compression ratio =9.0 ). Estimate the temperature of the compressed air, assuming the pressure reaches \(40 \mathrm{~atm}\).
