Verify the computations in Example 37.2 describing the McIntosh CAES plant. In particular, use eq. (37.2)

to compute the energy stored through isothermal compression; verify that 1.4 TJ of work would be done if the stored air were allowed to expand adiabatically as described in Example 37.2 and verify the temperatures of the air left in the mine and the air released into the environment after adiabatic expansion.
