An engine runs between a reservoir at temperature $200 \,K$ and a hot body which is initially at temperature of $600 \,K$. If the hot body cools down to a temperature of $400 \,K$ in the process,then the maximum amount of work that the engine can do (while working in a cycle) is (the heat capacity of the hot body is $1 \,J/K$).

  • A
    $200(1-\ln 2) \,J$
  • B
    $200(1-\ln(3/2)) \,J$
  • C
    $200(1+\ln(3/2)) \,J$
  • D
    $200 \,J$

If one mole of an ideal gas goes through the process $A \rightarrow B$ and $B \rightarrow C$ as shown in the $P-V$ diagram. Given that $T_A = 400 \, K$ and $T_C = 400 \, K$. If $\frac{P_B}{P_A} = \frac{1}{5}$,then find the total heat supplied to the gas (in $J$). (in $.2$)

There are two samples $A$ and $B$ of a certain gas,which are initially at the same temperature and pressure. Both are compressed from volume $V$ to $\frac{V}{2}$. Sample $A$ is compressed isothermally while sample $B$ is compressed adiabatically. The final pressure of $A$ is

Three samples of the same gas $A, B$ and $C$ $(\gamma = 3/2)$ have initially equal volume. Now the volume of each sample is doubled. The process is adiabatic for $A$,isobaric for $B$,and isothermal for $C$. If the final pressures are equal for all three samples,the ratio of their initial pressures is:

What are thermodynamic processes?

Consider the following volume-temperature $(V-T)$ diagram for the expansion of $5$ moles of an ideal monoatomic gas. Considering only $P-V$ work is involved,the total change in enthalpy (in Joule) for the transformation of state in the sequence $X \rightarrow Y \rightarrow Z$ is $\qquad$ [Use the given data: Molar heat capacity of the gas for the given temperature range,$C_{v,m} = 12 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ and gas constant,$R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$]
