A high-performance gasoline engine has a compression ratio of 10:1, meaning that air entering the cylinders is compressed to one-tenth its volume as the piston rises. If air enters this engine's cylinders at 290 K and 1 atm, find (a) the pressure and (b) the temperature of the air at full compression. Assume adiabatic compression.

When air is compressed its temperature increases. The compression process can be done in multiple stages with cooling between thestages. This reduces the amount of work required in the compression process.

The two stage compressor shown in the figure below takes in air at room condition(300 K and 100 kPa) and compresses it to 2 MPa. The cooler then cools the air to 340 K, after which it enters the second stage, which has an exit pressure of 15MPa.

Both compression stages are adiabatic and reversble.

(a) Find the specific heat transfer in the intercooler( the amount of heat in kJ/kg that must be removed from the air).

(b) Determine the total specific work.

(c) Compare this to the work required with no intercooler.

One cylinder in the diesel engine of a truck has an initial volume of 600cm^3. air is admitted into the cylinder at 30 degrees C and a pressure of 1.0 atm. the piston rod then does 400J of work to rapidly compress the air. what are its final temperature and volume?

I am not even sure will to begin with this problem anysuggestions?
