let the initial volume of the gas = = v
fibal volume = = v / 10
since the gas is diatomic ,n=2

Consider n moles of ideal gas kept in a heat-isolated cylinder (all processes are adiabatic) with a piston at external pressure p0, and at temperature T0. The external pressure is suddenly changed to p=2p0, and we wait for the system to equilibrate. The volume and the temperature of the ideal gas after equilibration is V and T, respectively. a) Calculate the amount w of work produced on the system in terms of p, p0, V, T0, and n. Using the...
A piston-cylinder assembly contains air modeled as an ideal gas. The air undergoes a power cycle consisting of four processes in series: • Process 1-2: Constant-temperature expansion at 600 K from p1 = 0.5 MPa to p2 = 0.4 MPa. • Process 2-3: Polytropic expansion with n = 1.3 to p3 = 0.3 MPa. • Process 3-4: Constant-pressure compression to ν4 = ν1. • Process 4-1: Constant-volume heating. a) Sketch the cycle on a p-ν diagram. b) Calculate the work...
