Thermodynamic Processes

The change in internal energy of the mass of a gas, when the volume changes from 'VV' to '2V2V' at constant pressure 'P' is (γ=\gamma = Ratio of Cp to Cv)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. ΔU=nCvΔT=nRΔTγ−1\Delta U = nC_v\Delta T = \frac{nR\Delta T}{\gamma - 1}
  2. At constant PP: nRΔT=P(2V−V)=PVnR\Delta T = P(2V - V) = PV.
  3. So the answer is (a) PVγ−1\frac{PV}{\gamma - 1}.
