Q141 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (04 Aug Shift 2) · Physics

A tyre pumped to a pressure of 2 atmosphere, suddenly bursts. If the temperature of air before expansion is T then the air temperature after the tyre busts is
(Assume the expansion is adiabatic and adiabatic constant γ=32

  • A
    T2
  • Correct answer
    B
    121/3T
  • C
    T32
  • D
    2T3

Solution

The above process belongs to the thermodynamic process known as the adiabatic process and the relation between pressure and volume in the adiabatic process is, PVγ=K, now use ideal gas equation, ⇒PnRTPγ=K⇒TγPγ-1=K

⇒T1γP1γ-1=T2γP2γ-1⇒Tγ2γ-1=T2γ1γ-1⇒T32212=T2321⇒T23=12×T3⇒T2=121/3T

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
