An ideal gas `(C_p / C_v = gamma)` is taken through a process in which the pressure and volume vary as `(p = aV^(b))`. Find the value of b for which the specific heat capacity in the process is zero.

Answer» Given that `P = a V^(b)`
or `PV^(-b) = a`
Comparing with `PV^(r )` = constant, we have
`r = -b`
We know that `C = C_(v) - (R )/(r - 1)`
Here `C = 0 = C_(V) - (R )/(gamma - 1)`
`:. O = (R )/(gamma - 1) - (R )/(- b - 1)`
or `b = - gamma`
