Hi Dave:
Okay........... I agree, most likely wrong. Im not sure about the dead
part, although I felt like sunday morning. Thats what I was wondering.
Let try this: How is BTU related to Degrees Fahrenheit?
If air is compressed doesn't it get hot? If so, how measure it? But I
guess what caught my eye was when a previous post said that compressing
air does not create heat. But I may be pretty ignorant about the term
HEAT.
Confused Bob
If I remember correcty from chem class 35 years ago:
PV=NRT
pressure * volume = moles * R * Temperature
I don't really remember the units, but I think moles is a measure of
mass, R is a constant (.082?), temperature = degrees kelvin.
Google "ideal gas law" for better info. But solve for T and you get
T=PV/NR
The rest is left as an exercise for the student :-)
