Homework Statement
Calculate the pressure increment required to isentropically compress air and water at 1 atm and 20°C to 50% of their volume. The isentropic bulk modulus for water at 20°C is 2.24 109 N/m2, and air can be considered an ideal gas with γ =1.4 .
Homework Equations
[itex]\frac{P2}{P1}[/itex]=[itex]\frac{V1}{V2}[/itex]γ=[itex]\frac{T2}{T1}[/itex][itex]\frac{γ}{γ-1}[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[itex]\frac{P2}{1013.25Pa}[/itex]=(0.5)1.4=383.9 Pa
I am reading ahead on the lecture notes which literally just show me how to derive the equation i provided so I have no clue at all what I'm doing would appreciate any pointers/ resources to get more practice on these types of questions :)
