Thermodynamics Question 253

Question: The relation between U, P and V for an ideal gas in an adiabatic process is given by relation U=a+bPV. Find the value of adiabatic exponent (γ) of this gas.

Options:

A) b+1b

B) b+1a

C) a+1b

D) aa+b

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] U=a+bPV ..(i)

In adiabatic change, dU=dW=nRγ1(T2T1)=nRγ1(dT)

U=dU=nRγ1dT

orU=(nRγ1)T+a=PVγ1+a .(ii)

Where a is the constant of integration.

Comparing (1) and (2), we get b=1γ1γ=b+1b.
