Thermodynamic Processes

A monoatomic gas at pressure 'PP' having volume 'VV' expands isothermally to a volume 2 V2\,V and then adiabatically to a volume 16 V16\,V. The final pressure of the gas is (γ=53)\left(\gamma = \frac{5}{3}\right)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Isothermal V→2VV \to 2V: P1=P2P_1 = \frac{P}{2}.
  2. Adiabatic 2V→16V2V \to 16V: P2=P2(18)5/3=P2×132P_2 = \frac{P}{2}\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^{5/3} = \frac{P}{2} \times \frac{1}{32}
  3. So the answer is (a) P64\frac{P}{64}.
