PHYS-4420 THERMODYNAMICS & STATISTICAL MECHANICS SPRING 2006 Class Activity - Class 4 January 27, 2006 Name____________________________________ Do problem 4-11 from the textbook. Since many of you do not have the textbook with you, here it is: An ideal diatomic gas, for which cv = 5R/2, occupies a volume of 2 m³ at a pressure of 4 atm, and a temperature of 20ºC. The gas is compressed to a final pressure of 8 atm. Compute the final volume, the final temperature, the work done, the heat released, and the change in internal energy for: (a) A reversible isothermal compression. (b) A reversible adiabatic compression.
