In a diesel engine, the piston compresses air at 303 K to a volume that is 0.062 of the original volume and a pressure that is 48.8 times the original pressure. What is the temperature of the air after the compression?

   Use ideal gas law:
   p?V = n?R?T
   =>
   p?V/T = n?R = constant

   Hence;
   p??V? /T? = p??V?/T?
   =>
   T? = T? ? (p?/p?) ? (V?/V?)
   = 303K ? (48. ? (0. 062)
   = 901. 728K
