The relation between internal energy U, pressure P and volume V of a gas in an adiabatic process is  U=5+3PV.  Where a and b are constants. What is the value of  the ratio of the specific heats?

a
32
b
43
c
53
d
75

detailed solution

Correct option is B

For an adiabatic process, U=a+bpV,γ=b+1b=3+13=43

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
