N moles of an ideal gas undergoes a process


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 308 People


N moles of an ideal gas undergoes adiabatic process and changes its state from P1,V1,T1 to P2,V2,T2 . The change in internal energy of the gas will be​

Answered by admin @



The ideal gas undergoes adiabatic process, so no heat enters or leaves the system, i.e., \tt{\Delta q=0.}

By first law of thermodynamics,

\tt{\longrightarrow \Delta u=\Delta q+\Delta W}

or,

\tt{\longrightarrow \Delta u=\Delta W\quad\quad[\because\,\Delta q=0]}

I.e., the work done on the system is completely utilized by the system to change its internal energy.

Work done in an adiabatic process is,

\tt{\longrightarrow \Delta W=\dfrac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{1-\gamma}}

This is the same as the internal energy.

\tt{\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{\Delta u=\dfrac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{1-\gamma}}}}

In terms of temperature,

\tt{\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{\Delta u=\dfrac{NR(T_1-T_2)}{1-\gamma}}}}
