Physics Question on Thermodynamics
′n′ moles of an ideal gas undergoes a process A→B as shown in the figure. The maximum temperature of the gas during the process will be :
A
4nR9P0V0
B
2nR3P0V0
C
2nR9P0V0
D
nR9P0V0
Answer
4nR9P0V0
Explanation
Solution
Equation of line AB
y−y1=x2−x1y2−y1(x−x1)
P−P0=V0−2V02P0−P0
(V−2V0)=−V0P0(V−2V0)
P=−V0P0V+3P0
PV=−V0P0V2+3P0V
nRT=−V0P0V2+3P0V
T=nR1(V0P0V2+3P0V)
dVdT=0 (For maximum temperature)
V0P02V+3P0=0
V0P02V=−3P0
V=23V0 (Condition for maximum temperature)
Tmax=nR1(−V0P0×49V02+3P0×23V0)
=nR1(−49P0V0+29P0V00)=49nRP0V00
