Lab 1:
Determination of Specific Heat Capacity Ratio under Reversible Adiabatic (i.e., Isentropic)
Process
1) Objective
To determine the specific heat capacity ratio of ambient air directly from measurements of pressure during a reversible adiabatic expansion process using the method named Clément Desormes.
1. Convert the measured values into absolute pressure values PABS.
2. Calculate the specific heat capacity ratio of the air using equation (2).
3. Compare the calculated ratio of specific heat capacities with the standard value of air and comment how representative the experiment result is?
4. Calculate the mean of specific heat capacity value based on the three trial results.
5. Compare the mean value with the standard value of specific heat capacity ratio of air.
6. Why is the process of air expansion as conducted in this experiment considered an adiabatic process?
7. Include in your report a diagram of the equipment shown all components and the purpose of each one.
8. Write a conclusion about theexperimental results.
