Q.

A small spherical mono-atomic ideal gas bubble (γ=5/3) is trapped inside a liquid of density ρ (see figure). Assume that the bubble does not exchange any heat with the liquid. The bubble contains n moles of gas. The temperature of the gas when the bubble is at the bottom is T0, the height of the liquid is H and the atmospheric pressure is P0 (Neglect surface tension).                  [2008]

Q.   When the gas bubble is at a height y from the bottom, its temperature is

1 T0(P0+ρgHP0+ρgy)2/5  
2 T0(P0+ρg(H-y)P0+ρgH)2/5  
3 T0(P0+ρgHP0+ρgy)3/5  
4 T0(P0+ρg(H-y)P0+ρgH)3/5  

Ans.

(2)

As the bubble does not exchange any heat with the liquid.

So, the process is adiabatic.

Applying relation,  TγP1-γ=constant

T2=T1[P1P2]1-γγ

Here  T1=T0,  P1=P0+Hρg,  T2=T,  P2=P

P=P0+(H-y)ρg,    γ=53

  T=T0[P0+HρgP0+(H-y)ρg]1-5353

          =T0[P0+HρgP0+(H-y)ρg]-23×35

T=T0[P0+(H-y)ρgP0+Hρg]25
