In Reply To Why is NA compression 186psi @ 10.5:1? Should be 154.35?>>> posted by AshsZ (Jobless In Florida) on August 06, 2001 at 06:27 PM
     
Message Just with the compression ratio alone the pressure should be 14.7*10.5= 154.35.

But as you compress the air, the temp goes up, raising the pressure.

Maybe the increased temp from compression is what accounts for the increased pressure.
