P-V graph for an ideal gas undergoing po...

P-V graph for an ideal gas undergoing polytropic process `PV^(m) = constant` is shown here. Find the value of m.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`1.5`
Slope = `-(gammaP)/(V) = -"tan"37^(@) implies (mP)/(V) = "tan"37^(@)`
`implies m = ((V)/(P))((3)/(4)) = ((4 xx 10^(5))/(2 xx 10^(5)))((3)/(4)) = (3)/(2)= 1.5`
