( (b) A single cylinder air compressor has a stroke of 100 mm, a bore of 80 mm and a compression ratio of 4.5. At the beginning of each compression stroke, the pressure of the air in the compressor is 98.5 kPa and the temperature is 20°C. At the end, the pressure is 8.09 bar. (i) Find the mass of air in the cylinder [4 marks] (ii) Calculate the final temperature.
