- Homework Statement
- The equation of state of a certain gas (P+b)v=RT and its specific internal energy u is given by u=aT+bv+u_0 where a ,b, u_0 and R are constants.
a) Find c_v (DONE)
b) Show that c_p - c_v =R for this gas (DONE)
c) Using the equation in (b) show that Tv^(R/c_v) = constant
- Relevant Equations
- (P+b)v=RT
u=aT+bv+u_0
The solutions start from the fact that c_v= (dT/dV)_s = -[(du/dv)_T + P], however I cannot reason where did that come from. Any help will be appreciated.
