Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 76P
The adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which air cools as it rises and expands adiabatically in the atmosphere (see Application: Smog Alert, on page 324). Express dT in terms of dp for an adiabatic process, and use the hydrostatic equation (Equation 15.2) to express dp in terms of dy. Then, calculate the lapse rate dT/dy. Take air’s average molecular weight to be 29 u and γ = 1.4, and remember that the altitude y is the negative of the depth h in Equation 15.2.

When gas expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat) in a gasoline engine, the pressure and volume of the gas are related: PV7/5=6.31. The units of the constant on the right-hand side are Pascals * (meters)21/5.
a) Take the deriavative of the equation above to find a formula relating P, V, (dP/dt), and (dV/dt).
b)Suppose the volume of gas is increasing at a rate of 0.00005 m^3/s. When the volume is 0.0003m^3, how quickly is the pressure changing? Hint: You'll need to compute P.
A gas is compressed from an initial volume of 0.42 m3 to a final volume of 0.12 m3. During the quasi-equilibrium process, the pressure changes with volume according to the relation P = aV 1 b, where a = 21200 kPa/m3 and b = 600 kPa. Calculate the work done during this process (a) by plotting the process on a P-V diagram and finding the area under the process curve and (b) by performing the necessary integrations.
When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure
P and volume V are related by the equation PV to the power of 1.4 = C where C is a constant. Suppose
that at a certain instant the volume is 480 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 75 kPa
and is decreasing at a rate of 10 kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per
minute is the volume increasing at this instant?
