The valve is closed and the piston is pulled back (it is NOT a free floating piston) until the volume is increased to V3 = 0.5 m3. This process occurs quickly enough that it can be modeled as being adiabatic (i.e., there is no heat transfer). The temperature of the air in the cylinder at the conclusion of this process is T3 = 273 K. e.) What is the final pressure of the air in the cylinder, P3 (kPa)?
