Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Isothermal process means constant temperature which is only possible in graph (c) & (d) for adiabatic process

pv γ\gamma = constant ........... (1)

∵\because PV = nRT

pp ∝\propto Tv{T \over v}

So, Tv{T \over v} v γ\gamma = constant

Tv γ\gamma −- 1 = constant ......... (2)

Similarly,

v∝Tpv \propto {T \over p}

P(TP)γP{\left( {{T \over P}} \right)^\gamma } = constant

P1 −- γ\gamma T γ\gamma = constant ......... (3)

∵\because differentiating equation (3) w.r.t. temp.

(P)1−γγ(T)γ−1dT+(T)γ(1−γ)(P)1−γ−1dP=0{(P)^{1 - \gamma }}\gamma {(T)^{\gamma - 1}}dT + {(T)^\gamma }(1 - \gamma ){(P)^{1 - \gamma - 1}}dP = 0

dPdT=(1−γ)TγP−γγ(P)1−γ(T)γ−1=(γ−1)TγP{{dP} \over {dT}} = {{(1 - \gamma ){T^\gamma }{P^{ - \gamma }}} \over {\gamma {{(P)}^{1 - \gamma }}{{(T)}^{\gamma - 1}}}} = {{(\gamma - 1)T} \over {\gamma P}}

It gives (+ve) slope.
