Could you explain isothermally and adiabatically?

So if the volume were initially 100 ml and the pressure is 14.7 psi then when compressed to 1/2 the volume, would the pressure then be 14.7 * 2 = 29.4 psi?

Hi, I am trying to figure out how much energy would be required to compress air from 100ml volume to 50ml, and also to 25ml volume... A nudge in the right direction would be great! Thank you! :)

compressed gas...and heat transfer... If you were to take a cylinder of air, at room temp, and let's say it is 100ml in volume. If you were to take this cylinder of air, compress its volume to half its size, how much heat would that create (btu's) and if the heat were to dissipate, would the...

If I am understanding correctly, that's 10 watts per sq. ft. so a 10 x 10 room would be 100 sq. ft. requiring 100 * 10 watts, or 1000 watts to maintain a "typical" temperature. Could this also be stated as 1000 watts per hour or 1kwh to maintain room temperature? would this also be...

O.K. this is maybe a large question... I am trying to find out how much energy it would take to do the work of a heat pump compressor that would be required to heat a... let's say 10 ft. x 10 ft. room of a typical house. I know there are a lot of variable here... What I am trying to...
