Like, lets say in diesel engines at 25:1 compression; what temperature must the air/fuel be to self ignite?
Also, why couldn't you just do 100:1 compression and be able to self ignite gas at much lower temperatures??
Thanks!

The ideal gas Law PV = nRT. Where does this come from? Robert Boyle found PV = a constant. That is, the product of the pressure of a gas times the volume of a gas is a constant for a given sample of gas. In Boyle's experiments the Temperature (T) did not change, nor did the number of moles (n) of gas present.
