Thermodynamics Question 23
Question: For adiabatic processes $ ( \gamma =\frac{C _{p}}{C _{v}} ) $
[KCET 1999; MP PET 1995; CPMT 2003]
Options:
A) $ 8P _{o} $
B) $ 16P _{0} $
C) $ 6P _{o} $
D) $ 2P _{o} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ \frac{P _{2}}{P _{1}}={{( \frac{V _{1}}{V _{2}} )}^{\gamma }} $
Therefore $ P _{2}=P _{1}{{( \frac{V _{1}}{V _{2}} )}^{\gamma }}=P _{0}{{(8)}^{4/3}}=16P _{0}. $
