Air in a cylinder is suddenly compressed by a piston, which is then maintained at the same position. With the passage of time
The pressure decreases
The pressure increases
The pressure remains the same
The pressure may increase or decrease depending upon the nature of the gas
Two identical samples of a gas are allowed to expand $(i)$ isothermally $(ii)$ adiabatically. Work done is
A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then
Why does a gas get heated on compression ?
The equation of state for a gas is given by $PV = nRT + \alpha V$, where $n$ is the number of moles and $\alpha $ is a positive constant. The initial temperature and pressure of one mole of the gas contained in a cylinder are $T_o$ and $P_o$ respectively. The work done by the gas when its temperature doubles isobarically will be
Compressed air in the tube of a wheel of a cycle at normal temperature suddenly starts coming out from a puncture. The air inside
