Thermodynamic Processes
A monoatomic gas having is stored in a thermally insulated container and the gas is suddenly compressed to th of its initial volume. The ratio of final pressure and initial pressure is: ( is the ratio of specific heats of the gas at constant pressure and at constant volume)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Insulated, sudden compression is adiabatic: .
- So the answer is (b) 32.
