$A$ monoatomic gas $(\gamma = 5/3)$ is suddenly compressed to $1/8$ of its original volume adiabatically. The pressure of the gas will change to:

  • A
    $24/5$ times its initial pressure
  • B
    $8$ times its initial pressure
  • C
    $40/3$ times its initial pressure
  • D
    $32$ times its initial pressure

$A$ diesel engine has a compression ratio of $20:1$. If the initial pressure is $1 \times 10^5 \ Pa$ and the initial volume of the cylinder is $1 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3$,then how much work does the gas do during the compression (in $J$)? (Assume the process as adiabatic) $(C_V=20.8 \ J/mol \ K, \gamma=1.4, (20)^{1.4}=66.3)$

Jet aircrafts fly at altitudes above $30000 \,ft$, where the air is very cold at $-40^{\circ} C$ and the pressure is $0.28 \,atm$. The cabin is maintained at $1 \,atm$ pressure by means of a compressor which exchanges air from outside adiabatically. In order to have a comfortable cabin temperature of $25^{\circ} C$, we will require in addition
