I have somewhere in my memory bank a figure of 35psi/deg F temperature change, for air. Can anyone confirm this and supply a figure for Nitrogen gas?

Seems on the high side to me.

Let me guess, you're thinking of filling your car tires with N2.

If you're speaking of an isochoric (constant volume) compression of air, your memorized figure would correspond to pressures of the order of 13,500 psia and temperatures around 90oF.

Would you clarify?
