If n moles of an ideal gas is heated at a constant pressure from 50°C to 100°C, the increase in the internal energy of the gas will be: \(\left(\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}} = \gamma\ and\ R = gas\ constant\right)\)
1. | \(\frac{50 nR}{\gamma - 1}\) | 2. | \(\frac{100 nR}{\gamma - 1}\) |
3. | \(\frac{50 nγR}{\gamma - 1}\) | 4. | \(\frac{25 nγR}{\gamma - 1}\) |
In the P-V graph shown for an ideal diatomic gas, the change in the internal energy is:
1. | \(\frac{3}{2}P(V_2-V_1)\) | 2. | \(\frac{5}{2}P(V_2-V_1)\) |
3. | \(\frac{3}{2}P(V_1-V_2)\) | 4. | \(\frac{7}{2}P(V_1-V_2)\) |
Two Carnot engines x and y are working between the same source temperature \(T_1\) and the same sink temperature \(T_2\). If the temperature of the source in Carnot engine x is increased by \(\Delta T\), and in the Carnot engine y, the temperature of the sink is increased by\(\Delta T\), then the efficiency of x and y becomes \(\eta_\mathrm x\) and\(\eta_\mathrm y\). Then:
1. | \(\eta_{\mathrm{x}}=\eta_{\mathrm{y}}\) |
2. | \(\eta_{\mathrm{x}}<\eta_{\mathrm{y}}\) |
3. | \(\eta_{\mathrm{x}}>\eta_{\mathrm{y}}\) |
4. | The relation between \(\eta_{\mathrm{x}}\) and \(\eta_{\mathrm{y}}\) depends on the nature of the working substance |

A reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by \(62^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are:
1. \(80^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
2. \(95^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 28^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
3. \(90^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
4. \(99^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
The initial pressure and volume of a gas are \(P\) and \(V\), respectively. First, it is expanded isothermally to volume \(4V\) and then compressed adiabatically to volume \(V\). The final pressure of the gas will be: [Given: \(\gamma = 1.5\)]
1. | \(P\) | 2. | \(2P\) |
3. | \(4P\) | 4. | \(8P\) |
Two Carnot engines A and B are operated in succession. The first one, A receives heat from a source at \(T_1=800\) K and rejects to sink at \(T_2\) K. The second engine, B, receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at \(T_3=300\) K. If the work outputs of the two engines are equal, then the value of \(T_2\) will be:
1. | 100 K | 2. | 300 K |
3. | 550 K | 4. | 700 K |
The volume of air (diatomic) increases by \(5\%\) in its adiabatical expansion. The percentage decrease in its pressure will be:
