An ideal gas undergoes a quasi static, reversible process in which its molar heat capacity $$C$$ remains constant. If during this process the relation of pressure $$P$$ and volume $$V$$ is given by $$P{V^n} = $$ constant, then $$n$$ is given by (Here $${C_p}$$ and $${C_v}$$ are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively:

$$'n'$$ moles of an ideal gas undergoes a process $$A$$ $$ \to $$ $$B$$ as shown in the figure. The maximum temperature of the gas during the process will be :

Consider a spherical shell of radius $$R$$ at temperature $$T$$. The black body radiation inside it can be considered as an ideal gas of photons with internal energy per unit volume $$u = {U \over V}\, \propto \,{T^4}$$ and pressure $$p = {1 \over 3}\left( {{U \over V}} \right)$$ . If the shell now undergoes an adiabatic expansion the relation between $$T$$ and $$R$$ is:

Consider an ideal gas confined in an isolated closed chamber. As the gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, the average time of collision between molecules increases as $${V^q},$$ where $$V$$ is the volume of the gas. The value of $$q$$ is: $$\left( {\gamma = {{{C_p}} \over {{C_v}}}} \right)$$
