Answer

$\frac{T_4}{T_1} = 0.660$

Work Step by Step

Step $4 \rightarrow 1$ is adiabatic which means there is no heat transfer in the process. $T_4V_4 ^{\gamma -1} = T_1V_1 ^{\gamma -1} $ Since $V_4 = 4.00V_1$, and $\gamma = 1.30$ $\frac{T_4}{T_1} = [\frac{V_1}{V_4}]^{\gamma -1} $ $\frac{T_4}{T_1} = [\frac{1.00}{4.00 }]^{0.30} $ $\frac{T_4}{T_1} = 0.660$
