Q. A gas is expanded adiabatically at an initial temperature of $300\, K$ so that its volume is doubled. The final temperature of the gas is $(\gamma=1.40)$ :

Thermodynamics Report Error

Solution:

For adiabatic process
$\Rightarrow T V^{\gamma-1} =$ constant
$\Rightarrow 300 V^{1.4-1} =T(2 V)^{1.4-1}$
$\Rightarrow 300 =T(2)^{0.4}$
$T =227.3\, K$
