Direction: Tell the Formula used and show the complete solution. Box the final answer. Suppose a compressible gas is flowing through a pipe. In a region of the pipe with a cross-sectional area of 200cm^2, it has a flow rate of 6m/s and a density of 3kg/m^3. What is its density as it flows through another region of the same pipe with a cross-sectional area of 300cm^2 at velocity 1.5 m/s?
Kinetic Theory of Gas
The Kinetic Theory of gases is a classical model of gases, according to which gases are composed of molecules/particles that are in random motion. While undergoing this random motion, kinetic energy in molecules can assume random velocity across all directions. It also says that the constituent particles/molecules undergo elastic collision, which means that the total kinetic energy remains constant before and after the collision. The average kinetic energy of the particles also determines the pressure of the gas.
P-V Diagram
A P-V diagram is a very important tool of the branch of physics known as thermodynamics, which is used to analyze the working and hence the efficiency of thermodynamic engines. As the name suggests, it is used to measure the changes in pressure (P) and volume (V) corresponding to the thermodynamic system under study. The P-V diagram is used as an indicator diagram to control the given thermodynamic system.
