One mole of an ideal gas with CpCv=γ at absolute temperature T1 is adiabatically compressed from an initial pressure
P1 to a final pressure P2. The resulting temperature T2 of the gas is given by
T2=T1(P2P1)γ−1γ
For an adiabatic process, PVγ=constant. The ideal gas equation is PV=RT or V=RTP. Therefore, we haveP(RTP)γ=constantor TγPγ−1=constant (∵R is a constant)∴Tγ2Pγ−12=Tγ1Pγ−11or T2=T1(P2P1)γ−1γ
