Chapter 4, Problem 4.8P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The heat capacity C_P of gas sample should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

For reversible adiabatic expansion of gas following equation relates the heat capacity at constant pressure, temperature and pressure:

  $T_2=T_1{(\frac{P_2}{P_1})}^{\frac{R}{C_P}}$

Here, $C_P$ is heat capacity at constant pressure, R is Universal gas constant, $P_1$ is initial pressure, $P_2$ is final pressure, $T_1$ is initial temperature and $T_2$ is final temperature.
