3.10.3 Expansion in gases
A gradual expansion without change in temperature is termed isothermal.
A gradual expansion without transfer of heat to or from the gas is termed
adiabatic.
If the temperature of a fixed mass of a gas was held constant while its
volume was varied over wide limits, then the pressure exerted by the gas
varies also in such a way that the product of pressure and volume remained
approximately constant. This relation is known as Boyle's law may be
written in the form:
P * V = constant (18)
Fig.8. show the relation between the volume and pressure of the gas at
constant temperature.

All gases tend to expand when heated, and if the gas is allowed to expand
by a suitable amount, then the pressure may be kept constant. Charles’s
constant pressure law states that at constant pressure, for a rise in
25
temperature, all gases expand by a constant amount, equal to about 1/273
the law states that:
Vt = Vo (1 + α t) (19)
Where Vt is the volume at t oC,
Vo is the volume at 0 oC and
α is the temperature coefficient of increase of volume at constant pressure.
(α = 1/273 approximately).
Fig.9. show the thermal expansion of gas at constant pressure.
Fig. 9. Expansion of gas under thermal pressure
If the volume of the gas is kept constant, then the pressure increases with
temperature according to the relation:
Pt = Po (1 + β t) (20)
Where Pt is the pressure at t oC,
25
temperature, all gases expand by a constant amount, equal to about 1/273
the law states that:
Vt = Vo (1 + α t) (19)
Where Vt is the volume at t oC,
Vo is the volume at 0 oC and
α is the temperature coefficient of increase of volume at constant pressure.
(α = 1/273 approximately).
Fig.9. show the thermal expansion of gas at constant pressure.
Fig. 9. Expansion of gas under thermal pressure
If the volume of the gas is kept constant, then the pressure increases with
temperature according to the relation:
Pt = Po (1 + β t) (20)
Where Pt is the pressure at t oC,
