A spherical bubble inside water has radius R. Take the pressure inside the bubble and the water pressure to be p0. The bubble now gets compressed radially in an adiabatic manner so that its radius becomes (R a). For a << R the magnitude of the work done in the process in given by (4 p0Ra2)X, where X is a constant and = Cp/Cv = 41/30. The value of X is .

- Initial and final states of the bubble
A spherical bubble of initial radius is in water. Initially,
After adiabatic compression, its radius becomes so the final volume is
Since , we will expand in powers of .
- Adiabatic relation
For adiabatic compression of the gas inside the bubble, with
Hence,
Let Then So,
Using binomial expansion up to : Here , so
- Work done in adiabatic compression
Magnitude of work done on the gas is
Now,
= p_0V_1\left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)^{\gamma-1}.$$ Since $$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\left(\frac{R}{R-a}\right)^3=(1-x)^{-3},$$ we get $$P_2V_2 = p_0V_1(1-x)^{-3(\gamma-1)}.$$ Let $$m=3(\gamma-1).$$ Given $$\gamma=\frac{41}{30} \Rightarrow \gamma-1=\frac{11}{30},$$ so $$m=3\cdot \frac{11}{30}=\frac{11}{10}=1.1.$$ Thus, $$P_2V_2 = p_0V_1(1-x)^{-1.1}.$$ Expand: $$ (1-x)^{-m} \approx 1+mx+\frac{m(m+1)}{2}x^2. $$ Therefore, $$P_2V_2-p_0V_1 \approx p_0V_1\left[mx+\frac{m(m+1)}{2}x^2\right].$$ So, $$W \approx \frac{p_0V_1}{\gamma-1}\left[mx+\frac{m(m+1)}{2}x^2\right].$$ Since $m=3(\gamma-1)$, $$\frac{m}{\gamma-1}=3.$$ Hence the first-order term is $$3p_0V_1x = 3p_0\cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3\cdot \frac{a}{R}=4\pi p_0R^2a.$$ This is just the external pressure work due to volume decrease. But the question asks the work magnitude in the compression from radius $R$ to $R-a$, and expresses it as proportional to $Ra^2$. Therefore we must identify the **excess work beyond the first-order term**, i.e. the nontrivial second-order contribution. So we keep the second-order part: $$W_{(2)} = \frac{p_0V_1}{\gamma-1}\cdot \frac{m(m+1)}{2}x^2.$$ Now, $$\frac{m(m+1)}{2(\gamma-1)} = \frac{3(\gamma-1)[3(\gamma-1)+1]}{2(\gamma-1)} = \frac{3(3\gamma-2)}{2}.$$ Thus, $$W_{(2)} = p_0V_1\cdot \frac{3(3\gamma-2)}{2}x^2.$$ Substitute $V_1=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$ and $x=a/R$: $$W_{(2)} = p_0\cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3\cdot \frac{3(3\gamma-2)}{2}\cdot \frac{a^2}{R^2}.$$ This simplifies to $$W_{(2)} = 2\pi p_0R a^2(3\gamma-2).$$ Now, $$3\gamma-2 = 3\cdot \frac{41}{30}-2 = \frac{123}{30}-\frac{60}{30}=\frac{63}{30}=2.1.$$ Hence, $$W_{(2)} = 2\pi p_0Ra^2\times 2.1 = 4.2\pi p_0Ra^2.$$ The question writes $$W=(4\pi p_0Ra^2)X.$$ So, $$4.2\pi p_0Ra^2 = (4\pi p_0Ra^2)X$$ which gives $$X=\frac{4.2}{4}=1.05.$$ --- 4. **Final answer** $$\boxed{X=1.05}$$ The stored answer is $2.05$, but the correct expansion gives $1.05$.More from Heat and Thermodynamics
