Question:

Under an adiabatic process, the volume of an ideal gas gets doubled. Consequently the mean collision time between the gas molecules changes from τ₁ to τ₂. If Cp/ Cv= γ for this gas, then a good estimate for τ₁/τ₂ is given by

Options :

  • (a) (1/2)^γ
  • (b) 2
  • (c) 1/2
  • (d) (2)^γ+1/2

Answer :

(d) (2)γ+1/2

Answer Steps :
