Answer to Question #319089 in Mechanical Engineering for arian mark

Question

In 8m3 of atmospheric air at 10°C temperature are compressed to volume of 2m3 at 100°C.

Answer 1

Pressure multiplied by volume divided by temperature equals a constant. The combination law explains what happens to air when it's compressed into a smaller volume. It tells us that when air is compressed, the pressure and temperature of the air increases, as the volume of the space containing air decreases.
