A single gas stream enters a process at conditions T 1 , P 1 , and leaves

Question:

A single gas stream enters a process at conditions T1, P1, and leaves at pressure P2. The process is adiabatic. Prove that the outlet temperature T2 for the actual (irreversible) adiabatic process is greater than that for a reversible adiabatic process. Assume the gas is ideal with constant heat capacities.
