Adiabatic compression: T·V^(γ-1) = const; γ=5/3 monatomic

Layer 1 — Physicsin the high-pressure-physics subtree

An adiabatic (reversible, no heat flow) compression of an ideal gas follows the Poisson adiabat P·V^γ = const, equivalently T·V^(γ-1) = const and P^(1-γ)·T^γ = const, where γ = C_P/C_V is the heat-capacity ratio. Values: monatomic (He,…
