In an adiabatic compression of a gas with γ = 1.4, the final pressure is double the initial pressure. If the initial temperature of the gas is 300 K, find the final temperature. |

Answer» Data : \(\gamma\)= 1.4, Pf = 2Pi, Ti = 300K \(\frac{T_f}{T_i}\) = \((\frac{P_f}{P_i})^{(\gamma-1)/\gamma}\) = 2(1.4 - 1)/1.4 = 20.4/1.4 = 20.2857 ∴ log \(\frac{T_f}{T_i}\) = = 0.2857 log 2 = 0.2857 (0.3010) = 0.086 ∴ \(\frac{T_f}{T_i}\) = antilog 0.086 = 1.219 ∴ Tf = 1219T = (1.219) (300) = 365.7 K This is the final temperature of the gas. |
