The compression ratio of a certain diesel engine is 15. this means that air the cylinder is compressed to 1/15 of its initial volume. If the initial pressure is `1.0xx10^(5)` Pa and the initial temperature is 300 K, find the final pressure and temperature after compression. air is mostly a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen and `gamma=1.4`
