Adiabatic reversible compression: a molecular view (1209.6609v1)
Published 13 Aug 2012 in physics.gen-ph
Abstract: The adiabatic compression (or expansion) of an ideal gas has been analysed. Using the kinetic theory of gases the usual relation between temperature and volume is obtained, while textbooks follow a thermodynamic approach. In this way we show once again the agreement between a macroscopic view (thermodynamics) and a microscopic one (kinetic theory).
