Air is compressed in a piston-cylinder assembly from p1=10lbf/in2,T1=500∘R,V1=9ft3 to a final volume of V2=1ft3 in a process described by pv1.25= constant. Assume ideal gas behavior and neglect kinetic and potential energy effects. Using constant specific heats evaluated at T1, determine the work and the heat transfer, in Btu.
