In an adiabatic process, the density of a diatomic gas becomes 32n times its initial value. The final pressure of the gas is found to be n times the initial pressure. The value of n is:
  1. 32
  2. 326
  3. 128
  4. 132

Solution

Given,

Final density of diatomic gas is ρf=32nρi

Final pressure is Pf=nPi

In adiabatic process, equation of state is given by,

PVγ=constant  ...1

Where, V is the volume, P is the pressure and γ=75 is the ratio of specific heat of diatomic gas

Pmργ=constant  ...2, As V=mρ

and mass is constant, then the pressure is given by

Pργ

PfPi=ρfρiγ

nPiPi=32ρiρi7/5=(32)7/5

 n=27=128
