Thermodynamics Ques 1

1. An ideal gas undergoing adiabatic change has the following pressure-temperature relationship

[1996]

(a) $P^{f^{-1}} T^\gamma=$ constant

(b) $P^\gamma T^{\gamma-1}=$ constant

(c) $P^{\prime} T^{1-\gamma}=$ constant

(d) $P^{1-\gamma} T^\gamma=$ constant

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 1.(d)

Solution: (d) We know that in adiabatic process,

$P V^\gamma=$ constant $\quad$ ……..(1)

From ideal gas equation, we know that

$ P V=n R T $

$ V=\frac{n R T}{P}$ $\quad$ ……..(2)

Puttingt the value from equation (2) in equation (1),

$ \begin{aligned} & P\left(\frac{n R T}{P}\right)^\gamma=\text { constant } \\ & P^{(1-\gamma)} T^\gamma=\text { constant } \end{aligned} $
