"How it can be explained mathematically by dP/dV = -gammaP/V
I am not able to figure out which has greater slope kind of confused in negative slope of adiabaticChestermiller said:What are your thoughts on this?
do you understand that ISOTHERMAL means at constant temperature and that ADIABATIC means no heat transfer?Shreyans Jain said:I am not able to figure out which has greater slope kind of confused in negative slope of adiabatic
Sir i know about that but i am not able to get mathemtical result, if possible could you please send me those.lychette said:The yellow curve shows an isothermal expansion, during the expansion heat energy must be supplied to keep the temperature constant.
The other 3 curves are all adiabatic expansions so no heat energy enters or leaves the gas. Heat energy (internal energy) is removed from the gas and therefore the values of P and V are lower than for the isothermal expansion.
Mathematical analysis will give the details of the curve shapes.
In general adiabatic curves are steeper than isothermal curves...I realize this is not a mathematically rigorous statement but it is helpful ...I hope.
Ps...make sure you are clear about this before you worry about the details of monatomic, diatomic molecules etc !
Sir, i am not able to get the mathematical resultChestermiller said:Do you know the solution to that differential equation that you wrote down? If so, what is it?
Are you saying that you have not had a course in differential equations, and do not know how to solve a homogeneous first order linear ordinary differential equation?Shreyans Jain said:Sir, i am not able to get the mathematical result
I know how to solve a homogeneous first order linear ordinary differential equation but there was something missing which i have got it now now thanks.Chestermiller said:Are you saying that you have not had a course in differential equations, and do not know how to solve a homogeneous first order linear ordinary differential equation?
