Mercury is poured into the open end of a J-shaped glass tube, which is closed at the short end, trapping air in that end.
A cylindrical cocktail glass 15 em high and 35 cm2 in cross section contains water up to the 10-cm mark.
What temperature must the air in the larger bulb be raised in order that the pressure be doubled?
A thick-walled insulated metal chamber contains ni, moles of helium at high pressure Pi.
Prove that the work done by an ideal gas with constant heat capacities during a quasi-static adiabatic expansion.
When the pressure is atmospheric Po, the piston face is a distance I from the closed end. The gas is compressed by moving the piston a distance x.
If the volume of the tube is V and the pressure P is uniform throughout the tube, show that the equation of state for n moles of gas .
An ideal gas of volume 0.05 ft3 and pressure 120 Ib/in2 undergoes a quasi-static adiabatic expansion until the pressure drops to 15Ib/in2.
