(Only accurate and good explanation answer required )
a) A perfect gas, enclosed by an insulated (upright) cylinder and piston, is at equilibrium condition
p1,v1,T1. A weight is placed on the piston. After a number of oscillations, the motion subsides,
and the gas reaches a new equilibrium at condition p2,v2,T2. Find the temperature ratio T2T1 in
terms of the pressure ratio =p2p1. Show that the change of entropy is given by
s2-s1=Rln(1+(-1))-11
Show that, if the initial disturbance is small, so that =1+lon, where lon1, then
s2-s1R=lon22
(b) Show that the frequency of small oscillation about the equilibrium position, using isentropic
relations, is
=12gl2(1+p1AW)2
Where l is the height of the cylinder.
