Description of Adiabatic Expansion and Compression of Gases

Abstract:

Adiabatic expansion of gases can be described by the traditional equation. It is shown that such this equation successfully describes adiabatic compression and expansion of  some gases. It is shown that an equation of the mechanocaloric effect can also be used for the description of such compression and expansion. An alternative equation of an adiabatic process is derived which gives a good description for all these gases. The accuracy of this equation is the same one as that of the traditional one.
