[QUOTE="bassguitar, post: 5767820, member: 621202"] [h2]Homework Statement[/h2] [/B] A closed cylinder with a piston is used to compress gas that is initially at 1bar and temperature 293K. The compression is performed adiabatically until the volume is 1m[SUP]3[/SUP] and the pressure is 10bar, calculate the work done. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [/B] pV = nR[SUB]0[/SUB]T - ideal gas assumption pV[SUP]y[/SUP] = const. - adiabatic compression W = (p[SUB]2[/SUB]V[SUB]2[/SUB] - p[SUB]1[/SUB]V[SUB]1[/SUB]) / y - 1 - work for adiabatic compression [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] [/B] We have the following unknown variables: T[SUB]2[/SUB] , V[SUB]1[/SUB] and y. And we only have two equations. Is there anything I am missing? [/QUOTE]
