When a gas is compressed adiabatically and reversibly, the final temperature is –
A. Higher than the initial temperature is –
B. Lower than the initial temperature
C. The same as initial temperature
D. Dependent upon the rate of compression
A. Higher than the initial temperature is –
B. Lower than the initial temperature
C. The same as initial temperature
D. Dependent upon the rate of compression
Correct Answer – A
For adiabatic process `-Delta E = W`
`nC_(V).Delta T = -ve`
`rArr Delta T = -ve`
`rArr T_(2)lt T_(1)`
