Question

During an adiabatic process, if the pressure of a gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature, then the ratio of $\frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$ for the gas is [2024]

(1)

$P = T^{3} \Rightarrow P T^{- 3} =$ constant

$∵$ $\frac{P V}{T} = n R =$ constant from ideal gas equation $\Rightarrow T = \frac{P V}{n R}$

$P {(\frac{P V}{n R})}^{- 3} =$ constant $\Rightarrow P^{- 2} V^{- 3} =$ constant

$\Rightarrow P V^{3 / 2} =$ constant ... (1)

$∴$ Process equation for adiabatic process is

$P V^{γ} =$ constant ... (2)

Comparing equation (1) and (2)

$\Rightarrow \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}} = γ = \frac{3}{2}$
