Air is to be compressed so that its volume is reduced to half of its original volume if the initial pressure is 200 kPa and the temperature is 20°C. Assume the ratio of specific heats is 1.4. Of the compression is done isentropically determine the required pressure.

Answer:

[tex]P_{2} = 527.803\,kPa[/tex]

Explanation:

The politropic relationship for a isentropic process is:

[tex]\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)^{\gamma}[/tex]

Where [tex]\gamma[/tex] is the ratio of specific heats

The final pressure is:

[tex]P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}\right)^{\gamma}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} = (200\,kPa)\cdot (2)^{1.4}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} = 527.803\,kPa[/tex]
