The initial pressure and volume of a gas are P and V respectively. First, its volume is expanded to 4V by an isothermal process and then compressed adiabatically to volume V. The final pressure will be (γ = 1.5):
1. | 8P | 2. | 4P |
3. | P | 4. | 2P |
Which one of the following processes is reversible?
1. | Transfer of heat by radiation |
2. | Transfer of heat by conduction |
3. | Isothermal compression |
4. | Electrical heating of a nichrome wire |
