Consider a cycle tyre being filled with air by a pump. Let V be the volume of the tyre (fixed) and at each stroke of the pump ?V V ( ) of air is transferred to the tube adiabatically. What is the work done when the pressure in the tube is increased from P₁ to P₂?

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

For adiabatic change process we know

P₁V₁^y= P₂V₂^y

P (V+ $?V$ )^y = (P+ $?P$ )V^y

PV^y (1+ $\frac{?V}{V}$ ) ^y=p (1+ $\frac{?P}{P}$ )V^y

PV^y (1+ $\frac{?V}{V}$ ) $\approx$ PV^y (1+ $\frac{?V}{V}$ )

Y $\frac{?V}{V}=\frac{?P}{P}$

dV= $\frac{1}{Y}\frac{V}{p}dP$

hence work done increasing the pressure from P₁ to P₂

W= ${\int }_{p1}^{p2}pdV={\int }_{p2}^{p1}p\frac{1}{Y}\frac{V}{p}dp$

= $\frac{V}{Y}\left(P_2-P_1\right)$

W= $\frac{P_2-P_1}{Y}V$
