Consider using the McIntosh salt mine described in Example 37.2 for adiabatic storage. Compute the energy stored

Question:

Consider using the McIntosh salt mine described in Example 37.2 for adiabatic storage. Compute the energy stored if a volume of air initially at p0 = 1 atm is compressed to pH = 75 atm, and compare to the energy stored if the air were compressed isothermally. Takeγ = 1.4 for air. Compute the temperature of the air at pressure pH assuming that the initial temperature was 300 K.
