    Adiabatic expansion in a thermodynamic system

    Thank you ! Using this and your previous posts I was able to find the answer for both (a) and (c) now. (how do i mark this thread as solved ?)

    Adiabatic expansion in a thermodynamic system

    I am using that formula for (a) in my attempted solution, but te result is not correct. The values I use are: V_f = unknown V_i = 4*10^{-3} P_i = 3 * P_f P_f = 1.013 * 10^{5} \lambda = 1.40 Am i using wrong values ? Attempt 2 : V_f = V_i * \log_{1.4}(p_i / p_f) \Rightarrow V_f = 4*10^{-3}...

    Adiabatic expansion in a thermodynamic system

    Homework Statement 4 liters of an ideal diatomic gas are compressed in a cilinder. In a closed process, the following steps are taken : 1) Initial state : p_1 = 1 atm = 1.013*10^5 N/m^2 and : T_1 = 300 K 2) Isochoric proces resulting in : p_2 = 3.p_1 3) Adiabatic expansion resulting in...
