It is very much so. Check out adiabatic compression. Or as someone mentioned before the inside of a diesel cylinder during the compression stroke. In my simple mind the rapid decrease in volume causes a rapid and extreme increase in the temperature as well.

The Combined Gas law may offer some math that could help.
