Pressure

 doublepressure( double p1 double v1 double v2 double gamma = 1.4 )
Compute the pressure due to a change in volume of gas, based on the adiabatic expansion


Therefore


where γ is the gas constant, equal to 1.4 for air.

Example 1

The follow graph show the change pressure when an initial 2m3 air is expanded or contracted:
There is an error with your graph parameters for pressure with options v1=2 p1=14.7 v2=0.1:4

Error Message:Function pressure failed. Ensure that: Invalid C++

Note

The units for pressure and volume can be interchanged with SI or Imperial systems, so long as the units used for p1 are the same as those in p2; and equally the units of v1 = v2. i.e. You are consistent.

Parameters

 p1 The initial pressure [psi] v1 The initial volume [ft3] v2 The new volume [ft3] gamma The gas constant. Default value = 1.4 (for air)

Returns

The new pressure at volume v2. [psi]
