An ideal gas compressed to half its init...

An ideal gas compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Work done on the gas = Area under the curve
`W_("adiabatic") gt W_("isothermal") gt W_("isobaric")`
`W_("isochoric")` is obviously zero because in an isochoric process there is no change in Volume.

In which process, work is maximum?

An ideal gas at pressure 2.5 xx 10^(5) pa and temperature 300k occupies 100 cc. It is adiabatically compressed to half its original volume. Calculate (a) the final pressure, (b) the final temperature and ( c) the work done by the gas in the process. Take (gamma = 1.5) .

A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume.The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its column is again reduced to half Then.

1 liter of an ideal gas (gamma =1.5) at 300k is suddenly compressed to half its original volume. (a) Find the ratio of the final pressure to the initial pressure. (b) If the original pressure is 100 kpa , find the work done by the gas in the process. (c) What is the change in internal energy? (d) What is the final temperature? (e) the gas is now colled to 300k keeping its pressure constant. Calculate the work done during the process . (f) The gas is now expanded iasothermally to achive its original volume of 1 liters. Calculate the work done by the gas .(g) Calculate the total work done in the cycle.

A mono atomic gas is suddenly compressed to ((1)/(8)) ^(th) of its initial volume adiabatically the ratio of its final pressure to the initial pressure is (Given : the ratio of the specific heats of the given gas to be 5//3 )

The pressure p and volume V of an ideal gas both increase in a process.

An ideal gas has pressure p_(0) , volume V_(0) and temperature T_(0) . It is taken an isochoric process till its pressure is doubled. It is now isothermally expanded to get the original pressure. Finally , the gas is isobarically compressed to its original volume V_(0) . (a) Show the process on a p-V diagram. (b) What is the tempertaure in the isothermal part of the process? (c) What is the volume at the end of the isothermal part of the process?

One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state A to final state B viva two processes: It first undergoes isothermal expansion from Volume V to3V and then its volume is reduced from 3V to V at constant pressure. The correct P-V diagram representing the two processes is:

An ideal gas goes from the state i to the state int as shown in .the work done by the gas during the process
