By applying the first law of thermodynamics to isobaric process. Obtain relation between two specific heats of a gas. |
|
Answer» In an isobaric process, pressure remains constant. If an amount of heat dQ is supplied to one mole of a gas at constant pressure and its temperature increases by dT, then dQ = CpdT Here Cp is molar specific heat of the gas at constant pressure. Therefore, for an isobaric process, the first law of thermodynamics becomes : Cpdt = dU + PdV …(i) From perfect gas equation it follows that PdV = RdT In the eqn. (i), substituting PdV and dU, we have CPdT = CvdT+ RdT Cp = Cv+ R. |
