Solution

Dear Student

The equation for ideal gas isnRT=PV..........(i) (R is the gas constant)and now we take the derivative so equation becomes,nRdT=PdV+VdP ...(ii)Also, from the first law of thermodynamicsdQ=dU+dWand, dW= PdVand for adibatic process, dQ=0and, dU=nCvdTSo, 0=nCvdT + PdV ...(iii)Combining (ii) and (iii)PdV=nCvdT= CvR(PdV+VdP)Collecting the PdV and VdP terms gives0=(1+ CvR)PdV+ CvRVdP0= R+CvCv( dVV)+( dPP)and, R+Cv= Cp0= CpCv( dVV)+( dPP)and we know that CpCv=γSo, 0=γ( dVV)+( dPP)or,( dPP)=-γ( dVV)
