Heat of Compression

GCAP instructors got a new toy!!!
If we take a gas and compress it, we will see an increase in temperature. The energy that is in the gas will concentrate into a smaller area. Focusing this energy quickly can get excessively hot. Man nor the machine creates the heat, it is only a focusing of the heat. All a compressor does is focus the energy through a reduction of space.
