Can You Prove the Steady Flow Equation for Ideal Gases?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around proving the steady flow equation for ideal gases, specifically t1/t2 = (p1/p2)^(n-1/n), where t represents temperature, p is pressure, and n (or γ) is typically 1.4 for air. Participants seek clarification on the variables involved and whether the states (p1, t1) and (p2, t2) refer to thermodynamic variables of an ideal gas undergoing an adiabatic process. A related equation involving the Mach number, t1/t2 = 1 + ((γ-1)/2)(m^2), is also mentioned. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clearer question to facilitate assistance. Understanding the context of the states and the process is crucial for proving the equation effectively.

Does anybody know how to prove this equation

t1/t2 = (p1/p2)^(n-1/n)

thanks

Tell us about the equation. What are the variables, what does it represent. The more information you can provide the more we will be able to help.
 
t= temperature
p= pressure
n can be written as gamma(γ) which is 1.4
ive found out that t1/t2 = 1+((γ-1)/2)(m^2)
where m is the mach number
 
so, are (p1,t1) and (p2,t2) thermodynamic variable for two states? Is the state an ideal gas? Is the process which takes you to the new state adiabatic?

It'll be easier to help if you post the exact question.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
