Simple Semi Rigid Chamber

A simple relation of semi rigid chamber when the volume of the chamber is linearly related to the pressure as


where $ a$ is a constant that represent the physics. This situation occurs at least in small ranges for airbag balloon etc. The physical explanation when it occurs beyond the scope of this book. Nevertheless, a general solution is easily can be obtained similarly to rigid tank. Substituting equation (11.42) into yields

Carrying differentiation result in


Similarly as before, the variables are separated as


The equation (11.45) integrated to obtain the form
The physical meaning that the pressure remains larger thorough evacuating process, as results in faster reduction of the gas from the chamber.
