$A$ sample of gas at temperature $T$ is adiabatically expanded to double its volume. The work done by the gas in the process is (given,$\gamma = 3/2$):

  • A
    $W = TR[\sqrt{2} - 2]$
  • B
    $W = \frac{T}{R}[\sqrt{2} - 2]$
  • C
    $W = \frac{R}{T}[2 - \sqrt{2}]$
  • D
    $W = RT[2 - \sqrt{2}]$

$A$ vessel contains $0.15 \ \text{m}^3$ of a gas at pressure $8 \ \text{bar}$ and temperature $140^\circ \text{C}$ with $c_p = 3R$ and $c_v = 2R$. It is expanded adiabatically until the pressure falls to $1 \ \text{bar}$. The work done during this process is . . . . . . $\text{kJ}$.

During an adiabatic process,the volume of a gas is found to be inversely proportional to the cube of its temperature. The ratio of $\frac{C_p}{C_v}$ for the gas is

The pressure and density of a given mass of a diatomic gas $\left(\gamma = \frac{7}{5}\right)$ change adiabatically from $(P, d)$ to $(P^{\prime}, d^{\prime})$. If $\frac{d^{\prime}}{d} = 32$, then $\frac{P^{\prime}}{P}$ is $(\gamma = \text{ratio of specific heats})$.

By what factor should the volume of an ideal gas $(\gamma = 1.5)$ be increased through an adiabatic expansion so that its $rms$ speed becomes half?

$A$ monatomic gas at $630 \,K$ expands adiabatically to $27$ times its initial volume. The final temperature of the gas is (in $\,K$)
