Question 969: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

A mass of diatomic gas $(\gamma  = 1.4)$ at a pressure of 2 atmospheres is compressed adiabatically so that its temperature rises from 27
o
C to 927
o
C. The pressure of the gas in the final state is

Accepted Answer

T
1
= 273 + 27 = 300K
T
2
= 273 + 927 = 1200K
For adiabatic process,
${P^{1 - \gamma }}{T^\gamma }$ = constant
$ \Rightarrow {P_1}^{1 - \gamma }{T_1}^\gamma  = {P_2}^{1 - \gamma }{T_2}^\gamma $
$ \Rightarrow {\left( {{{{P_2}} \over {{P_1}}}} \right)^{1 - \gamma }} = {\left( {{{{T_1}} \over {{T_2}}}} \right)^\gamma }$
$ \Rightarrow {\left( {{{{P_1}} \over {{T_2}}}} \right)^{1 - \gamma }} = {\left( {{{{T_2}} \over {{T_1}}}} \right)^\gamma }$
${\left( {{{{P_1}} \over {{P_2}}}} \right)^{1 - 1.4}} = {\left( {{{1200} \over {300}}} \right)^{1.4}}$
${\left( {{{{P_1}} \over {{P_2}}}} \right)^{ - 0.4}} = {\left( 4 \right)^{1.4}}$
${\left( {{{{P_2}} \over {{P_1}}}} \right)^{0.4}} = {4^{1.4}}$
${P_2} = {P_1}{4^{\left( {{{1.4} \over {0.4}}} \right)}} = {P_1}{4^{\left( {{7 \over 2}} \right)}}$
