$\eta=1-\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$0.8=1-\frac{\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}}$

$\frac{\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}}=0.2$

$\mathrm{T}_{2} \mathrm{V}_{2}^{\gamma-1}=\mathrm{T}_{1} \mathrm{V}_{1}^{\gamma-1}$

$\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{2}}{\mathrm{V}_{1}}\right)^{\gamma-1}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}}{\mathrm{T}_{2}}=5$

$\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}$
