During an experiment, an ideal gas is found to obey a condition $\frac{{{P^2}}}{\rho }$ = constant [$\rho =$ density of the gas]. The gas is initially at temperature $T,$ pressure $P$ and density $\rho$ . The gas expands such that density changes to $\rho/2$

$\frac{P^{2}}{\rho}=$ constant

$P=p \frac{R T}{M}$ (Ideal gas equation)

$\Rightarrow \frac{p_{2}}{\rho}=\frac{P}{\rho}\left(\frac{\rho R T}{M}\right)=P T \frac{R}{M}=$ constant

$\therefore$ The graph of the above process on the $P-T$ diagram is hyperbola. For the above process

$\left(\frac{P_{2}}{\rho}\right)_{1}=\left(\frac{P^{2}}{\rho}\right)_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{P_{2}}{\rho}=\frac{P_{2}^{2}}{\rho / 2} \Rightarrow P_{2}=\frac{P}{\sqrt{2}} \ldots .(i)$

and

$P_{1} T_{1}=P_{2} T_{2} \Rightarrow P T=\frac{P}{\sqrt{2}} T_{2} \Rightarrow T_{2}=\sqrt{2} T \ldots .(ii)$

    Two moles of monoatomic gas is expanded from $(P_0, V_0)$ to $(P_0 , 2V_0)$ under isobaric condition. Let $\Delta Q_1$, be the heat given to the gas, $\Delta W_1$ the work done by the gas and $\Delta U_1$ the change in internal energy. Now the monoatomic gas is replaced by a diatomic gas. Other conditions remaining the same. The corresponding values in this case are $\Delta Q_2 , \Delta W_2 , \Delta U_2$ respectively, then

    An ideal gas of density $\rho=0.2 kg m ^{-3}$ enters a chimney of height $h$ at the rate of $\alpha=0.8 kg s ^{-1}$ from its lower end, and escapes through the upper end as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the lower end is $A_1=0.1 m ^2$ and the upper end is $A_2=0.4 m ^2$. The pressure and the temperature of the gas at the lower end are $600 Pa$ and $300 K$, respectively, while its temperature at the upper end is $150 K$. The chimney is heat insulated so that the gas undergoes adiabatic expansion. Take $g=10 ms ^{-2}$ and the ratio of specific heats of the gas $\gamma=2$. Ignore atmospheric pressure.
