Kinetic Models for Adiabatic Reversible Expansion of a Monatomic Ideal Gas.
Chang, On-Kok
Journal of Chemical Education, v60 n8 p647-48 Aug 1983
A fixed amount of an ideal gas is confined in an adiabatic cylinder and piston device. The relation between temperature and volume in initial/final phases can be derived from the first law of thermodynamics. However, the relation can also be derived based on kinetic models. Several of these models are discussed. (JN)
