Thermodynamic Processes

A gas undergoes a change in which its pressure ' P ' and volume ' V ' are related as PVn=PV^{n} = constant, where n is a constant. If the specific heat of the gas in this change is zero, then the value of nn is ( γ=\gamma = adiabatic ratio)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Specific heat zero means Q=0Q = 0 for any temperature change, i.e. the process is adiabatic.
  2. Adiabatic process: PVγ=PV^{\gamma} = constant, so n=γn = \gamma.
  3. So the answer is (d).
