Question: Make a Pv ( pressure - specific volume ) sketch for air showing 2 isotherms, namely 7 0 F and T 2 from Problem 2

Make a Pv (pressure-specific volume) sketch for air showing 2 isotherms, namely 70 F and
T2 from Problem 2. The plot does not have to be to scale with actual P and v increments.
Next, sketch the isentropic compression process starting at the inlet ( point 1) at 14.7 psia
and 13.3ft3lbm(prove this value is the inverse of the inlet density) and then ending up at
the exit pressure of 160 psia and T 2 isotherm ( point 2). In addition to the sketching, also
calculate the specific volume at the exit knowing P and T. Hint: you can use proportions or
the ideal gas equation directly-take your pick. (ans: 3.9ft3lbm)
