Compute the pressure and the temperature

Reference no: EM13187747

Consider a cylinder of a gasoline engine at the beginning of the compression cycle, during which a fuel/air mixture (for our purposes mostly composed of nitrogen and oxygen, i.e. an ideal diatomic gas) at 300 K and 1 bar is compressed down to the 1/10th volume (compression ratio of 10:1). Assume that the compression is rapid so no heat exchange occurs with the environment. Calculate the pressure and the temperature of the compressed gas. In a diesel engine the compression ratios are typically much higher; redo the same calculation for the compression ratio of 20:1.
