If a perfect gas undergoes adiabatic compression, is the initial temperature lower, higher, or the same as the final temperature.
Adiabatic process is a process in which no heat energy exchange between the system and the surroundings.
So, when a perfect gas undergoes adiabatic compression, there is no heat energy exchange between the system and the surroundings. But the pressure of the gas is increased and the temperature will also be increased due more number of collisions between the molecules.
Therefore, the initial temperature will be less than the final temperature in an adiabatic compression of a perfect gas.
