An ideal gas goes through a polytropic process. Find the polytropic exponent `n` if in this process the coefficient (a) of diffusion , (b) of viscosity , ( c) of heat conductivity remains constant. |

Answer» (a) `D alpha V sqrt(T) alpha sqrt(p V^3)` Thus `D` remains constant in the process `pV^3 = constant` So polytropic index `n = 3` (b) `eta alpha sqrt(T) alpha sqrt(pV)` So `eta` remains constant in the isothermal process `pV = constant, n = 1 here` ( c) Heat conductivity `k = eta C_V` and `C_V` is a constant for the ideal gas Thus `n = 1` here also. |
