On a P-V diagram of an ideal gas, suppose a reversible adiabatic line intersects a reversible isothermal line at point A. Then at a point A, the slope of the reversible adiabatic line $${\left( {\frac{{\partial {\text{P}}}}{{\partial {\text{V}}}}} \right)_{\text{S}}}$$ and the slope of the reversible isothermal line $${\left( {\frac{{\partial {\text{P}}}}{{\partial {\text{V}}}}} \right)_{\text{T}}}$$ are related as (where, $${\text{y}} = \frac{{{{\text{C}}_{\text{p}}}}}{{{{\text{C}}_{\text{v}}}}}$$ )
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
For an adiabatic process → $$P{V^y}$$ = constant
For an isothermal process → $$PV$$ = constant
So, slope for adiabatic process in $$PV$$ plane is $$\frac{{dp}}{{dv}} = - y\frac{p}{v}$$
Slope for isothermal process is $$\frac{{dp}}{{dv}} = - \frac{p}{v}$$
Hence, $${\left( {\frac{{\partial p}}{{\partial v}}} \right)_S} = - y{\left( {\frac{{\partial p}}{{\partial v}}} \right)_T}$$
For an isothermal process → $$PV$$ = constant
So, slope for adiabatic process in $$PV$$ plane is $$\frac{{dp}}{{dv}} = - y\frac{p}{v}$$
Slope for isothermal process is $$\frac{{dp}}{{dv}} = - \frac{p}{v}$$
Hence, $${\left( {\frac{{\partial p}}{{\partial v}}} \right)_S} = - y{\left( {\frac{{\partial p}}{{\partial v}}} \right)_T}$$
