The First Law of Thermodynamics problem 26


A fixed mass of an ideal gas has volume at pressure and temperature . The volume of the gas is reduced at constant pressure to as shown in the figure below.




The final temperature of the gas is .


  • Determine


    • the final temperature of the gas


    • the external work done on the gas.


  • For this change in volume and temperature of the gas, the thermal energy transferred is . Determine , the change in internal energy of the gas.
