One mole of a gas expands such that its volume $V$ changes with absolute temperature $T$ in accordance with the relation $V = K T^2$,where $K$ is a constant. If the temperature of the gas changes by $60 \text{ K}$,then the work done by the gas is ($R$ is the universal gas constant).

$A$ given mass of a gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled. It is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its original volume is restored and its pressure is then found to be $0.75$ of its initial pressure. The ratio of the specific heats of the gas is approximately:

The change in internal energy of a given mass of a gas,when its volume changes from $V$ to $3V$ at constant pressure $P$,is (where $\gamma$ is the ratio of the specific heat capacities of the gas).

An engineer claims to have made an engine delivering $10 \, kW$ power with fuel consumption of $1 \, g \, s^{-1}$. The calorific value of the fuel is $2 \, kcal \, g^{-1}$. His claim:

$A$ heating element of resistance $r$ is fitted inside an adiabatic cylinder which carries a frictionless piston of mass $m$ and cross-sectional area $A$. The cylinder contains one mole of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas varies with time $t$ as $T = \alpha t + \frac{1}{2} \beta t^2$ (where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants), while the pressure remains constant. The atmospheric pressure above the piston is $P_0$. Then:

An office room contains about $2000$ moles of air. The change in the internal energy of this much air when it is cooled from $34^{\circ} C$ to $24^{\circ} C$ at a constant pressure of $1.0 \text{ atm}$ is (Use $\gamma_{\text{air}} = 1.4$ and universal gas constant $R = 8.314 \text{ J/mol-K}$)
