Question

A mass of diatomic gas (γ = 1.4) at a pressure of 2 atm is compressed adiabatically so that its temperature rise from 270C to 9270C. The pressure of the gas is final state is

Moderate
Solution

T1 = 273 + 27 = 300 K

T2 = 273 + 927 = 1200 K

Gas equation for adiabatic process pVγ = constant

p(Tp)γ = constant ( pV = RT)

p2p1 = (T2T1)γγ-1 or p2 = p1(T2T1)γγ-1

p2 = 2(1200300)1.41.4-1

p2 = 256 atm.
