An ideal rigid diatomic gas $(\gamma = 7/5)$ undergoes an adiabatic change. If the relation between temperature and volume is $TV^x = \text{constant}$, then the value of $x$ is:

In summer,when the valve of a bicycle tube is removed,the escaping air appears cold. Why?

In a thermodynamic system,$W$ represents the work done by the system and $\Delta U$ is the increase in internal energy. Which of the following statements is $TRUE$?

$A$ polyatomic gas $(\gamma = 4/3)$ is compressed to $(1/8)^{\text{th}}$ of its initial volume adiabatically. If its initial pressure is $P_0$,what will be its new pressure (in $P_0$)?

$A$ cylindrical vessel of uniform cross-section containing a gas with $\gamma = 1.5$ is divided into two parts $A$ and $B$ using a piston. Initially, the piston is kept fixed such that part $A$ has pressure $p$ and volume $5V$, and part $B$ has pressure $8p$ and volume $V$. If the piston is released and the gas is allowed to undergo an adiabatic process, then the final volume of the gas in part $A$ is:

What is constant in an adiabatic process?
