| Mar 17, 2016 at 23:06 | comment | added | user109867 | @PeterDiehr This was really helpful, but is not enough to solve my problem. I have to prove that the speed of sound follows as Laplace formula (which I already did), but I would like to prove first that the process is adiabatic without using the value of the speed of sound. I was thinking in trying to compare the speed of how fast heat exchange occur with the speed of compression in the air. Thanks a lot. | |
