An ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to 8/27 times of its present value at 27oC. The temperature of the gas becomes (γ= 5/3).
475oC
275oC
402oC
175oC
A thermodynamic system is taken through the cycle PQRSP process. The net work done by the system is
20 J
-20 J
400 J

One mole of a mono atomic 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
Even Carnot engine cannot give 100% efficiency, because we cannot
prevent radiation
find ideal sources
reach absolute zero temperature
eliminate friction
A scientist says that the efficiency of his heat engine which works at source temperature of 127oC and sink temperature 27oC is 26%.
It is impossible
It is possible but less probable
It is quite possible
Data is incomplete
The temperature of source and sink of a heat engine are 127oC and 27oC respectively. An inventor claims its efficiency to be 26%, then
It is possible with high probability
It is possible with low probability
Data are insufficient
When a system is taken from the initial state i to final state f along he path iaf, it is found that Q = 50 cal and W = 20 cal. If along the path ibf, Q = 36 cal, then W along the path ibf is
6 cal
16 cal
66 cal
14 cal
