Homework Statement
A gas obeys the equation p(V-b) = RT and has cv independent of temperature. Show:
(a) the internal energy is a function of temperature only
(b) the ratio cp/cv is independent of temperature and pressure
(c) the equation of an adiabatic change has the form p(V-b)^gamma = const (where gamma = cp/cv )
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Not sure where to go for this one...
I know that for an ideal gas U = 3/2 n R T
But what can I use here? Where do i start? ( can i use dU = TdS - pdV? That holds for all gases, right?)
