Thermodynamic Processes
A gas is kept in a container having walls which are thermally non-conducting. Initially the gas has a volume of and temperature . The change in temperature when the gas is adiabatically compressed to is:
(Take is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- Adiabatic: constant, so .
- So the answer is (a) 300 K.
