When a gas is compressed in an air conditioner, It heats up.
Is this because: The pressure increases and Pressure and temperature are directly proportional, or because it is using energy to do work and
in compressing it, transfers
its energy to the gas
molecules, they absorb it as
internal energy, making the
molecules move faster, and
as temperature is the
average speed of the
molecules movement, its
temperature increases
Thanks in advance.
