Q3) (a)

One kg gas is compressed adiabatically by following the law pV = C from initial temperature of 290 K. The initial pressure of gas is 1 bar. The initial and final volumes of gas are 0.50 m3 and 0.05 m3 respectively. Find the final temperature and pressure of gas. Assume γ =1.4.

Given data
m = 1 kg
T1 = 290 K
P1 = 1 bar = 100 kPa
V1 = 0.50 m3
V2 = 0.05 m3

To Find T2 = ? , P2 = ?

Now,  

T2T1 = V1V2γ - 1 

T2 =T1 ×  V1V2γ - 1 

T2 =290 ×  0.500.051.4 - 1 

 T2 = 728.447 K

Now,  

P1V1γ = P2V2γ

P2 = P1 ×  V1V2γ 

P2 = 100 ×  0.500.051.4 

 P2 = 2511.886 kPa
