Thermodynamic Processes

A monoatomic gas is suddenly compressed to (1/8)th of its initial volume adiabatically. The ratio of the final pressure to initial pressure of the gas is (γ=5/3\gamma = 5/3)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Adiabatic: P2P1=(V1V2)γ\frac{P_2}{P_1} = \left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)^\gamma.
  2. P2P1=85/3=32\frac{P_2}{P_1} = 8^{5/3} = 32
  3. So the answer is (a) 32.
