Q1.Prove that PV^Y=C for reversible adiabatic process.
Solution:
δQ = dU + PdV
Reversible Adiabatic:
δQ=0 (:: There is no heat interaction between system and surroundings = adiabatic
dU + dV = 0
dU = -PdV
m(Cv)dT = -PdV ----------------------------------------------(1)
Now we want 'Y' , so,
We know H = U + PV
dH = dU + PdV + VdP
dH = δQ + VdP
(:: There is no heat interaction δQ =0)
dH = VdP
m(Cp)dT = VdP ------------------------------------------(2)
Dividing (2) by (1)
Y = -V/P(dP/dV) (:: Y= Gama=Cp/Cv)
Y = -V/dV(dP/P)
Integral both side
∫YdV/V + ∫dP/P =∫0
Y(lnV) + lnP = lnC
ln PV^Y = lnC
PV^Y = C ------------Since, this has been found for δQ =0 so, only apply it for reversible adiabatic
