In this problem you are to consider an adiabaticexpansion of an ideal diatomic gas, which means that the gas expands with no addition or subtraction of heat. Assume that the gas is initially at pressure p0, volume V0, and temperature T0. In addition, assume that the temperature of the gas is such that you can neglect vibrational degrees of freedom. Thus, the ratio of heat capacities is γ=Cp/CV=7/5. Note that, unless explicitly stated, the variable γshould not appear in your answers--if needed use the fact that γ=7/5 for an ideal diatomic gas. A) Find an analytic expression for p(V), the pressure as a function of volume, during the adiabatic expansion. Express the pressure in terms of V and any or all of the given initial values p0, T0, and V0. p(V) = __________ B) At the end of the adiabatic expansion, the gas fills a new volume V1, where V1>V0. Find W, the work done by the gas on the container during the expansion. Express the work in terms of p0, V0, and V1. Your…
Hi, could I get some help with this micro-macro connection physics problem involving root mean square speed? The set up is: For an atom in an ideal gas with rms speed in one direction, vx = 100 m/s, and mass m = 6.66e-27 kg, what is the temperature T in kelvin (K) to four digits of precision if Boltzman constant kB = 1.38e-23 J/K?

One process for decaffeinating coffee uses carbon dioxide ( M=44.0 g/mol) at a molar density of about 14,0 mol/m3 and a temperature of about 60 .

In an experiment, the temperature of a hot gas stream is to be measured by a thermocouple with a spherical junction. Due to the nature of this experiment, the response time of the thermocouple to register 99 percent of the initial temperature difference must be within 5 s. The properties of the thermocouple junction are k = 35 W/m·K, r = 8500 kg/m3, and cp = 320 J/kg·K. If the heat transfer coefficient between the thermocouple junction and the gas is 250 W/m2·K, determine the diameter of the junction.
