ISOTHERMAL COMPRESSIBILITY/BULK MUDULUS OF ELASTICITY

Given: Assumptions:
V1 = 0.35 m3 (a) The system is in isothermal condition.
V2 = 0.071 m3 (b) The air inside the cylinder is an ideal gas.
kN
P1 = 276 m2

Required:
(a) Pressure of the new volume, P2
(b) Isothermal bulk modulus at the new state, 𝜅

Solution:
Assuming that the air inside the cylinder is an ideal gas and assuming isothermal conditions:
P1 V1 P2 V2 P1 V1
= → P1V1 = P2V2 → P2 =
T1 T2 V2

N
(2.76×105 2 )(0.35 m3 )
m
P2 =
0.071 m3
P2 = 1.36x106 N/m2

κideal gas =P=1.36×106 N/m2

Answer: The pressure of the new volume and the isothermal bulk modulus of elasticity in the new
state is 1.36x106 N/m2
