Kinetic Theory Of Gases Question 167

Question: A thermally insulated vessel contains an ideal gas of molecular mass M and ratio of specific heats $ \gamma $ . It is moving with speed v and is suddenly brought to rest. Assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, its temperature increases by

Options:

A) $ \frac{(\gamma -1)}{2(\gamma +1)R}Mv^{2}K $

B) $ \frac{(\gamma -1)}{2\gamma }Mv^{2}K $

C) $ \frac{\gamma Mv^{2}}{2R}K $

D) $ \frac{(\gamma -1)}{2R}Mv^{2}K $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] $ \frac{1}{2},Mv^{2}=1\cdot C _{V}\Delta T $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{1}{2}Mv^{2}=\frac{R}{\gamma -1}.\Delta T $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \Delta T=\frac{Mv^{2}(\gamma -1)}{2R}=\frac{(\gamma -1)Mv^{2}}{2R} $
