A diatomic ideal gas is used in a Carnot engine as the working substance. If during the adiabatic expansion part of the cycle the volume of the has increased from V to 32 V, the efficiency of the engine is:
0.25
0.5
0.75
0.99
One mole of a monoatomic gas is heated at a constant pressure of 1 atmosphere from 0 K to 100 K. If the gas constant R = 8.32J/mol K, the change in internal energy of the gas is approximately :
2.3 J
46 J
8.67 x 103 J
1.25 x 103 J
An ideal gas heat engine is operating between 227oC and 127oC. It absorbs 104 J of heat at the higher temperature. The amount of heat converted into work is:
2000 J
4000 J
