Dec 17, 2021 at 11:39 comment added Chet Miller In case 1, as the container is accelerated, the gas nearer the trailing wall is compressed and the gas nearer the leading wall is expanded. If the acceleration is gradual, then the expansion and compression of the gas will be nearly reversible, and, in the end the work done to accelerate will match the final kinetic energy, so there will be no change in temperature. But, if the acceleration is very rapid, the expansion and compression will be somewhat irreversible, the work done on the gas will be greater than the final kinetic energy of the gas, and the temperature will rise.
Dec 14, 2021 at 18:18 comment added Bob D @Orion_Pax As I explained in my answer to your other related question, if the gas (or liquid) is contained in a rigid (W=0), thermally insulated (Q=0) vessel, there will be no change in internal energy $\Delta U$, for all 5 situations since $\Delta U=Q-W$. For an ideal gas that will mean no change in equilibrium temperature, though there may be temperature and pressure gradients within the gas during acceleration, which disappear when equilibrium is re-established.
Dec 14, 2021 at 16:05 comment added R.W. Bird During initiation of acceleration, the gas in a container is compressed toward the back wall. Compression of a gas is generally associated with an increase in temperature due to molecules bouncing off a surface which is motion relative to the gas.

Dec 14, 2021 at 13:57 comment added Orion_Pax The speeds r very less compared to speed of light so i dont think this belongs to relativity its just part of thermodynamics
Dec 14, 2021 at 13:55 comment added Orion_Pax Yeah @Chet_Miller Sir

Dec 14, 2021 at 12:30 comment added Chet Miller In case 1, is the container initially stationary, and then suddenly made to travel at the speed of the train? Is the container insulated?
