Dry air  (γ=32) at atmospheric pressure is suddenly compressed to 14th of its original volume, the pressure will be

a
10 atm
b
8 atm
c
3 atm
d
6 atm

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Pressure P1=P=1 atm  to find  P2  given volume V1=V and :V2=V4  adiabatic process(it is a sudden process) relation between P and V isPVγ=Constant  P1P2=V2V1γ  substitute the given values in above equation  PP2=V4V32 ⇒PP2=18P2=8P  given P= 1 atm ⇒P2=8 atm

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure P1=105Pa and volume Vi=103m3  changes to final state at Pf=132×105pa&Vf=8×103m3in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that P3V5= constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system form the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at Pi followed by an isochoric (is volumetric) process at volumeVf. The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximately
