In a long fixed horizontal pipe, two identical pistons A and B each of mass can slide without friction. The pipe and the pistons are made of perfect heat-insulating materials. The space between the pistons is filled with mole of gaseous helium. The piston A is given an initial velocity towards the piston .
The maximum temperature change of the gas in ensuing motion of the pistons can be expressed as where is the universal gas constant.
