A piston cylinder device with air is going through an isentropic compression. The initial pressure is 0.1 MPa and temperature is 300 K. During the isentropic compression process, the volume is decreased to 1/18 of the initial volume. Using variable specific heats, determine the pressure and temperature at the end of the compression process. What is the amount of work consumed?
