Adiabatic ProcessHardQuestion 31031

Question

For adiabatic process in ideal gas, relation between P and V is:
  1. A
    PV = constant
  2. B
    PVγ = constant
    Correct
  3. C
    PV^(1/γ) = constant
  4. D
    P = constant

Correct answer

PVγ = constant

Explanation

Adiabatic equation: PVγ = constant, where γ = Cp/Cv. Also TV^(γ−1) = constant and T^γP^(1−γ) = constant.
