A monoatomic gas at pressure $\mathrm{P}$ and volume $\mathrm{V}$ is suddenly compressed to one eighth of its original volume. The final pressure at constant entropy will be :
Solution
<p>$P{V^\gamma }=$ constant</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow P{V^\gamma } = (P'){\left( {{v \over 8}} \right)^\gamma }$ where $\gamma = 5/3$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow P' = 32P$</p>
