Can we increase the temperature of a gas without supplying heat to it? |
|
Answer» Yes, This happens when the gas undergoes, adiabatic compression. From `dQ=dU+dW` as `dQ=0` in an adiabatic process, `:. dU+dW=0` or `dU= -dW` In compression, work is done on the gas, therefore, `dW` is negative. Hence, `dU is +, i.e., internal energy of the gas increases. Hence, temperature of gas increases. |
