Problem 2.43

The volume of one mole of an ideal gas with the adiabatic exponent γ\gamma is varied according to the law V=a/T,V=a / T, where aa is a constant. Find the amount of heat obtained by the gas in this process if the gas temperature increased by ΔT\Delta T.

Reveal Answer
Q=RΔT(2γ)/(γ1)Q=R \Delta T(2-\gamma) /(\mathcal{\gamma}-1)
