Thermodynamics - Result Question 23

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

(a) $28 atm$

(b) $68.7 atm$

(c) $256 atm$

(d) $8 atm$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 24. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) $T_1=273+27=300 K$

$T_2=273+927=1200 K$

For adiabatic process,

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

$\Rightarrow P_1{ }^{1-\gamma} T_1{ }^{\gamma}=P_2{ }^{1-\gamma} T_2{ }^{\gamma}$

$\Rightarrow(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{1-\gamma}=(\frac{T_1}{T_2})^{\gamma} \Rightarrow(\frac{P_1}{T_2})^{1-\gamma}=(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{\gamma}$

$\Rightarrow(\frac{P_1}{P_2})^{1-1.4}=(\frac{1200}{300})^{1.4} \Rightarrow(\frac{P_1}{P_2})^{-0.4}=(4)^{1.4}$

$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{0.4}=4^{1.4} \\ & \Rightarrow P_2=P_1 4^{(\frac{1.4}{0.4})}=P_1 4^{(\frac{7}{2})} \\ & \Rightarrow P_1(2^{7})=2 \times 128=256 atm \end{aligned} $
