Question: Air within a piston - cylinder assembly, initially at 5 0 lb ( f ) / ( i ) n . ^ ( 2 )

Air within a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at 50lb(f)/(i)n.^(2),510\deg R, and a volume of 6ft^(3), is compressed isentropically to a final
volume of 3ft^(3).
Assuming the ideal gas model with k=1.4 for the air, determine the:
(a) mass, in lb.
(b) final pressure, in lb(f)/(i)n.^(2)
(c) final temperature, in \deg R.
(d) work, in Btu.
