An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process as shown in the density-pressure graph. During the process $AB$, the work done $|W_{AB}| = 70\,J$. During the process $BC$, the gas absorbs $150\,J$ of heat. During the process $CA$, the gas undergoes expansion and does $210\,J$ of work. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The efficiency of the cyclic process is $33\%$.
  • B
    The efficiency of the cyclic process is $66\%$.
  • C
    The process $CA$ is adiabatic.
  • D

An ideal gas exists in a state with pressure $P_0$, volume $V_0$. It is isothermally expanded to $4$ times its initial volume $(V_0)$, then isobarically compressed to its original volume. Finally, the system is heated isochorically to bring it to its initial state. The amount of heat exchanged in this process is

The relation between the efficiency $\eta$ of a heat engine and the coefficient of performance $\alpha$ of a refrigerator is:

An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a horizontal cylinder by a spring-loaded piston (as shown in the figure). Initially,the gas is at temperature $T_1$,pressure $P_1$,and volume $V_1$,and the spring is in its relaxed state. The gas is then heated very slowly to temperature $T_2$,pressure $P_2$,and volume $V_2$. During this process,the piston moves out by a distance $x$. Ignoring the friction between the piston and the cylinder,the correct statement$(s)$ is(are):
$(A)$ If $V_2=2V_1$ and $T_2=3T_1$,then the energy stored in the spring is $\frac{1}{4}P_1V_1$
$(B)$ If $V_2=2V_1$ and $T_2=3T_1$,then the change in internal energy is $3P_1V_1$
$(C)$ If $V_2=3V_1$ and $T_2=4T_1$,then the work done by the gas is $\frac{7}{3}P_1V_1$
$(D)$ If $V_2=3V_1$ and $T_2=4T_1$,then the heat supplied to the gas is $\frac{41}{6}P_1V_1$

$A$ real gas within a closed chamber at $27^{\circ} C$ undergoes the cyclic process as shown in the figure. The gas obeys the $PV^3 = RT$ equation for the path $A$ to $B$. The net work done in the complete cycle is (assuming $R = 8 \, J/mol \cdot K$): (in $ \, J$)
