Thermodynamics Question 262

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

Options:

A) 28 atm

B) 68.7 atm

C) 256 atm

D) 8 atm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] T1=273+27=300K

T2=273+927=1200K

For adiabatic process, P1γTγ=constantP11γT1γ=P21γT2γ

(P2P1)1γ=(T1T2)γ(P1T2)1γ=(T2T1)γ

(P2P1)11.4=(1200300)1.4(P1T2)0.4=(4)1.4

(P2P1)0.4=41.4or, P2=P14(1.40.4)=P14(72)

=P1(27)=2×128=256atm
