Q.
The change in internal energy of a given mass of gas, when its volume changes from V to 2V at constant pressure p is( CVCP=γ, universal gas constant =R)
In case of gases whatever be the process ΔU=nCVΔT or ΔU=nΔT(γ−1R) .. (i) pV=nRT1 2pV=nRT2 ⇒pV=nR(T2−T1) RpV=nΔT [T2−T1=ΔT]
Substituting in Eq. (i) ΔU=(γ−1)pV
