An engine takes in 5 moles of air at 20°C and 1 atm, and compresses it adiabatically to 1/10th of the original volume. Assuming air to be a diatomic ideal gas made up of rigid molecules, the change in its internal energy during this process comes out to be X kJ. The value of X to the nearest integer is:
An engine takes in 5 moles of air at 20°C and 1 atm, and compresses it adiabatically to 1/10th of the original volume. Assuming air to be a diatomic ideal gas made up of rigid molecules, the change in its internal energy during this process comes out to be X kJ. The value of X to the nearest integer is:
T? V? ¹ = T? V? ¹
T? = T? (V? /V? )? ¹ = T? (10)? /? ¹ = T? (10)²/?
ΔV = 5/2 nR; 5/2 * 5 * 3102/5-1
625/6 * 1.5 * 293 = 461440 ≈ 46ks
