Find the molar heat capacity of an ideak gas in a polytropic process p V^n = const if the adiabatic exponent of the gas is equal to gamma . At what values of the polytropic constant n will the heat capacity of the gas be negative ?

Determine the molar heat capacity of a polytropic process through which an ideal gas consisting of rigid diatomic molecules goes and in which the number of collisions between the molecules remains constant (a) in a unit volume , (b) in the total volume of the gas.

A process in which work perfomed by an ideal gas is proportional to the corresponding increment of its internal energy is described as a polytropic process. If we represent work done by a ppolytropic process by W and increase in internal energy as Delta U then W prop Delta U or W=K_(1) DeltaU ...(i) For this process, it can be demonstrated that the relation between pressure and volume is given by the equation PV^( eta)= K_(2) (constant ) .....(ii) We know that a gas can have various values for molar specific heats. The molar specific heat 'C' for an ideal gas in polytropic process can be calculated with the help of first law of thermodynamics. In polytropic process process the variation of molar specific heat 'C' with eta for a monatomic gas is plotted as in the graph shown. In the graph shown, the y- coordinate of point A is ( for monatomic gas )

(a) A polytropic process for an ideal gas is represented by PV^(x) = constant, where x != 1 . Show that molar specific heat capacity for such a process is given by C = C_(v) + (R)/(1-x) . (b) An amount Q of heat is added to a mono atomic ideal gas in a process in which the gas performs a work (Q)/(2) on its surrounding. Show that the process is polytropic and find the molar heat capacity of the gas in the process.

Statement I: When an ideal gas is taken from a given thermodynamics state A to another given thermodynamic state B by any polytropic process, the change in the internal energy of the system will be the same in all processes. Statement II: Internal energy of the gas depends only upon its absolute tmeperature.

A polyatomic ideal gas with linear structure is being supplied that Q in a polytropic process. The work done upon gas is (Q)/(N) . The molar specific heat of the gas for the process is (N'NR)/(2[N+1]) . Then find the value of N' (here N is a constant).
