Ok, the first question is this:
It asks me to show that the following relation holds for a reversibe adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas:
Where Gamma = the ratio of: C_p/C_v the specific heats with constant pressure and volume, respectively.
I know that PV ^Gamma = constant and that TV ^(Gamma - 1) = constant.
i just don't see the connection.
Second question:
An ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic reversible expansion from an initial state (T1, v1) to a final state (T2,v2).
Show:
Please help, thanks

Second question:
An ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic reversible expansion from an initial state (T1, v1) to a final state (T2,v2).
Show:
ln (T_2/T_1) = (Gamma - 1) ln (v_1/v_2)
again where Gamma = the ration of specific heats.Please help, thanks
