Thermodynamic Processes

A monoatomic gas of pressure pp having volume VV expands isothermally to a volume 2V2V and then adiabatically to a volume 16 V16\,V. The final pressure of the gas is (ratio of specific heats =53= \frac{5}{3}

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  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 (c) p64\frac{p}{64}.
