A certain volume of dry air at `20^(@)C` is expanded to three thimes its volume (i) Slowly, (ii) suddenly. Calculate the final pressure and temperature in each case. Atmosperic pressure `= 10^(5) Nm^(-2), gamma` of air = 1.4

Answer» Correct Answer - `2.15xx10^(4N),^(-2)`
When the process is slow, temperature reamins constant and it maty be taken as an isothermal process for which
pV=a cosntant
`therefore 10^(5)V=p_(2)3 V or p_(2)=(10^(5)/(3)=3.3xx10^(4)Nm^(-2)`
When the process is sudden, it adiabatic
In a adiabatic change ltbRgt `TV^(gamma-1)= a constant`
or `293V^(0.4)=(273+t)3^(0.4),or(273+t)=(293)/(3)^(0.4)`
`therefore log(273+t)=log293-log3^(0.4)=log293-0.4log3`
`therefore 273+1 = antilog 2.2761 = 188.8`
For an adiabatic change `pV^(gamma)=constant`
`therefore 10^(5)V^(1.4)=p_(2)(3V)^(1.4)`, or `10^(5)V^(1.4)V^(1.4)`
or `p_(2)=106(5)/(3)6(1.4)`
`therefore logp_(2)-log 106(5)-1.4log3=5-1.4xx0.4771=5-0.6679=4.3321`
`therefore P_(2) = antilog 4.3321 = 2.15xx10^(4)Nm^(-2)`
In the slow process final temperature `= 20^(@)C`
and pressure `= 3.3xx106(4)Nm^(-2)`
In the sudden process final temperature`=-84.2^(@)C`
and pressure `= 3.3 xx10^(4)Nm^(-2)`
In the sudden process final tempeature`=-84.26^(@)C`
and pressure `= 2.15xx10^(4)Nm^(-2)`

A motor car tyre is pumped up to pressure of two atmosheres at `15^(@)C` when it suddenly bursts. Calculate the resulting drop in temperature of the escaping air `(gamma =14)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - 2.3734
As it bursts suddenly, the changes is adiabatic.
We have `T^(gamma)p^(1-gamma) =` a constant
`T_(1)^(gamma)P_(1)^(1-gamma) = T_(2)^(gamma)p_(2)^(1-gamma)`
or `(273+15)^(gamma)(2P_(0))^(1-gamma) = T_(2)^(gamma)(2p_(0))^(1-gamma) Where p_(0) = 1 atmoshpere`
or `288^(1.4) 2^(1-1.4)p_(0)^(1-gamma) = T_(2)^(1.4)p_(0)^(1-gamma)`
`288^(1.4) 2^(-0.4) = T_(2)^(1.4)`
or ` T_(2)^(1.4) = (288^(1.4))/(2^(0.4))`
or `log T_(2) = log288 - 0.4log 2//1.41 =2.3734`

A barometer tube contains a mixture of air and saturated water vopour in the space above the mercury column. It reads 70cm when the actual atmospheric pressure is 76cm of mercury. The saturation vapour pressure at roon tempature is1.0 cm of mercury, The tube is now lowered in the reservoir till the space above the mercury cloumn is reduced to half its origina volume. Find the reading of the barometer. Assume that the temperature remains constant.

Answer» The pressure due to the air +vapour is `76cm-70cm=6cm` of mercury, The vapour is saturted and the pressure due to it is 1cm of mercury. The pressure due to the air is, therefore, 5cm of mercury,
As the tube is lowered and the volume above the mercury is decreased, Some of the vapour will condense. The remaining vapour will again exert a pressure of 1 cm of mercury . the pressure due to air is doubled as the volume is halved. Thus, pair`=2xx5cm=10cm` of mercury.
