SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on calculating the temperature increase of air when pressurized from atmospheric pressure to 3 bar gauge pressure using the principles of thermodynamics. The key formula for an isentropic process is T2/T1 = (p2/p1)^(gamma-1/gamma), where gamma is 1.4 for air. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding whether the process is isentropic or polytropic to apply the correct calculations. Accurate temperature predictions are essential for applications involving piston-type air pumps.
