An ideal fluid is subjected to a thermodynamic process described by p=CV¯ª and
P = np' where p is energy density and P is pressure. For what values of n and I the
process is adiabatic if the volume is changed slowly?
An ideal gas, initially at a pressure of 9.7 ×105 Pa and a temperature of 286 K, is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volume doubles. What is the gas’s final temperature, in kelvin, if the gas is monatomic? What is the gas’s final pressure, in pascals, if the gas is diatomic?
When an ideal gas undergoes a quasistatic adiabatic
volume change, its pressure p and volume V are related by
PVY
= a constant, where y is the ratio of the molar specific
heats for the gas. Start from the first law of thermodynamics,
present a proof of this equation.
