Equation of state for adiabatic, reversible changes of ideal gases

Equation of states for adiabatic, reversible changes of ideal gases

The equation of state for the ideal gases under adiabatic and reversible volume changes can be formulated in a very special form.

The physical variables of ideal gases under adiabatic and reversible volume changes can be related by different mathematical forms from the general equation of state, although the ideal gas law, the general equation of state for ideal gases, is always valid.
