a certain gas at atmospheric pressure is compressed adiabatically so that its volume becomes half of its original volume .Calculate the resultinfg pressure in N/m square . Take gamma = 1.4, for the gas and kindly explain the solution .
Assume initial volume, V1 = V
final volume, V2 = V/2
Initial pressure, P1 = 76 × 13.6 × 980 dyne cm-2
Final pressure = P2
Now from adiabatic equation:
P2Vγ2 = P1Vγ1
