Air compressed in car engine from 25 C and 100 kPa in reversible and adiabatic manner. If the compression ratio = 9.058, determine final temperature of air.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial temperature, [tex]T_1=25^{\circ}C=298\ K[/tex]

Pressure, [tex]P_1=100\ kPa=10^5\ Pa[/tex]

Compression ratio, [tex]r=\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=9.058[/tex]

Let T₂ is the final temperature of air. Using the relation for reversible adiabatic process as :

[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=(\dfrac{V_1}{V_2})^{\gamma-1}[/tex]............(1)

Where,

[tex]\gamma=\dfrac{C_p}{C_v}[/tex]

For air, [tex]C_p=1.004[/tex] and [tex]C_v=0.717[/tex]

[tex]\gamma=1.4[/tex]

So, equation (1) becomes :

[tex]T_2=T_1\times (\dfrac{V_1}{V_2})^{\gamma-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_2=298\times (9.058)^{1.4-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_2=719.49\ K[/tex]

So, the final temperature of air is 719.49 K. Hence, this is the required solution.
