Question
A cylinder filled with gas is placed in heatproof jacket. How will the temperature of gas be changed when the volume of gas is decreased slowly?
Solution
The slow compression of gas in a heatproof jacket is an example of adiabatic compression.
Work done on the gas is converted into internal energy. Hence, the temperature of the gas will increase.
