Consider two containers $A$ and $B$ containing identical gases at the same pressure, volume and temperature. The gas in container $A$ is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container $B$ is compressed to half of its original value adiabatically. The ratio of final pressure of gas in $B$ to that of gas in $A$ is
$2^{\gamma-1}$
${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}}$
${\left( {\frac{1}{{1 - \gamma }}} \right)^2}$
${\left( {\frac{1}{{\gamma - 1 }}} \right)^2}$
Melting of ice is an adiabatic or an isothermal process ?
If $\gamma = 2.5$ and volume is equal to $\frac{1}{8}$ times to the initial volume then pressure $P' $ is equal to (Initial pressure $= P$)
A balloon filled with helium $\left(32^{\circ} C \right.$ and $1.7\; atm$.) bursts. Immediately afterwards the expansion of helium can be considered as
Consider a cycle tyre being filled with air by a pump. Let $V$ be the volume of the tyre (fixed) and at each stroke of the pump $\Delta V$ $(< < V)$ of air is transferred to the tube adiabatically. What is the work done when the pressure in the tube is increased from $P_1$ to $P_2$ ?
A diatomic gas initially at $18^o C$ is compressed adiabatically to one-eighth of its original volume. The temperature after compression will be
