With what minimum pressure (in kPa), a given volume of an ideal gas `(C_(p,m)=7//2R)` originally at 400 K and 100 kPa pressure can be compressed irreversibly adiabatically in order to raise its temperature to 600 K :
A
362.5 kPa
B
275 kPa
C
437.5 kPa
D
550 kPa
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
The correct Answer is:
B
For an adiabatic irreversible compression, `DeltaU=w` `thereforenC_(v,m)(T_(2)-T_(1))=-P_("ext")(V_(2)-V_(1))` here `P_("ext")=P_(2)` `nC_(v,m)(T_(2)-T_(1))=-P_(2)[(nRT)/(P_(2))-(nRT_(1))/(P_(1))]` `implies (5)/(2)R(T_(2)-T_(1))=-P_(2)xxR[(T_(2))/(P_(2))-(T_(1))/(P_(1))]` `implies" "P_(2)=275 " kPa"`

gamma for a gas is 5/3. An ideal gas at 27^@C is compressed adiabatically to 8/27 of its original volume. The rise in temperature of the gas is
When an ideal gas at a pressure P, temperature T and volume V is isothermally compressed to ((V)/(n)) , its pressure becomes P_("iso") and if the same process is carried out adiabatically and reversibly, its pressure becomes P_("adia") . Which of the following is correct for (P_("iso"))/(P_("adia")) ?
An ideal gas with pressure P, volume V and temperature T is expanded isothermally to a volume 2V and a final pressure P_1 . The same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume 2V, the final pressure is P_A . In terms of the ratio of the two specific heats for the gas gamma , the ratio P_I//P_A is :
