$A$ thermally insulating cylinder has a thermally insulating and frictionless movable partition in the middle,as shown in the figure below. On each side of the partition,there is one mole of an ideal gas,with specific heat at constant volume,$C_v = 2R$. Here,$R$ is the gas constant. Initially,each side has a volume $V_0$ and temperature $T_0$. The left side has an electric heater,which is turned on at very low power to transfer heat $Q$ to the gas on the left side. As a result,the partition moves slowly towards the right,reducing the right side volume to $V_0 / 2$. Consequently,the gas temperatures on the left and the right sides become $T_L$ and $T_R$,respectively. Ignore the changes in the temperatures of the cylinder,heater,and the partition.

$A$ monoatomic gas $(\gamma = 5/3)$ initially at $27^{\circ} C$ having volume $V$ is suddenly compressed to one-eighth of its original volume $(V/8)$. What is the final temperature after the compression (in $K$)?

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature $T_1$, is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a massless, frictionless piston. By releasing the piston suddenly, the gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas columns before and after expansion respectively, then $(T_2 / T_1)$ is given by

$A$ triatomic gas at an initial temperature of $18^{\circ}C$ is compressed adiabatically to $1/8$ of its initial volume. What is the final temperature of the gas?

$A$ gas $(\gamma = 1.3)$ is enclosed in an insulated vessel fitted with an insulating piston at a pressure of $10^5 \ N/m^2$. On suddenly pressing the piston,the volume is reduced to half the initial volume. The final pressure of the gas is:
