Answer 1

In an isobaric process of an ideal gas, the ratio of heat supplied to work done by system is y

Answer 2

Given :

The process is isobaric .

To find :

The ratio of heat supplied to work done by system in an isobaric process .

Solution :

we know, γ =  $C_{p}$ / $C_{v}$

Ratio = - dQ / dW

         = dQ / ( dQ - dU)

         = n * $C_{p}$ * dT / ( n * $C_{p}$ * dT - n * $C_{v}$ * dT )

         = $C_{p}$ / ( $C_{p}$ - $C_{v}$ )

 dividing numerator and denominator by $C_{v}$ ,

         = γ / ( γ - 1 )

The ratio of heat supplied to work done by the system is γ / ( γ - 1 ) .
