Problem 3 [1.30 6<sup>th</sup>] A gas initially at P<sub>1</sub> = 1 bar and occupying a volume of 1 liter
is compressed within a piston cylinder assembly to a final pressure P<sub>2</sub> = 4 bar.
[a]
If the relationship between pressure and volume during the compression is
PV = constant, determine the volume, in liters, at a pressure of 3 bar. Also
plot the overall process on a graph of pressure versus volume. [V = 0.33-liter]
[b] Repeat for a linear pressure-volume relationship between the same end
states. [V = 0.5-liter]
