Answer

$\Delta v = -8.50\ ft³/lbm$

Work Step by Step

Assuming the air retains ideal gas behaviour throughout the process: $v=\frac{RT}{P}$ With $P_1=20\ psia, P_2=150\ psia, T_1=T_2=70°F=529.67°R, R=0.3704\ psia.ft³/lbm.°R$ $v_1 = 9.81\ ft³/lbm$ $v_2=1.31\ ft³/lbm$ $\Delta v = v_2-v_1 = -8.50\ ft³/lbm$
