(N/A) $1$. Work to Heat: In winter,when we rub our palms together,the mechanical work done in rubbing is converted into thermal energy (heat),which makes our palms feel warmer.
$2$. Heat to Work: In a steam engine,the thermal energy (heat) released from steam is used to perform mechanical work by pushing pistons,which in turn rotate the wheels of the train.

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 $1 \,J/K$).

Consider one mole of helium gas enclosed in a container at initial pressure $P_1$ and volume $V_1$. It expands isothermally to volume $4 V_1$. After this,the gas expands adiabatically and its volume becomes $32 V_1$. The work done by the gas during isothermal and adiabatic expansion processes are $W_{\text{iso}}$ and $W_{\text{adia}}$,respectively. If the ratio $\frac{W_{\text{iso}}}{W_{\text{adia}}} = f \ln 2$,then $f$ is:

Two gases $A$ and $B$ are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radius $r_A$ and $r_B$,respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the systems reversibly under constant pressure,the pistons of gas $A$ and $B$ are displaced by $16 \ cm$ and $9 \ cm$,respectively. If the change in their internal energy is the same,then the ratio $\frac{r_A}{r_B}$ is equal to

$A$ thermodynamic system undergoes a cyclic process through four stages. The energy values involved during this process are $Q_1 = 600 \ J, Q_2 = -400 \ J, Q_3 = -300 \ J$,and $Q_4 = 200 \ J$. The work values are $W_1 = 300 \ J, W_2 = -200 \ J, W_3 = -150 \ J$,and $W_4$. Find the value of $W_4$ in $J$.

Three moles of an ideal monatomic gas perform a cycle $ABCDA$ as shown in the figure. The temperatures of the gas at the states $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $400 \, K, 800 \, K, 2400 \, K$ and $1200 \, K$, respectively. The work done by the gas during this cycle is ($R$ is the universal gas constant). (in $R$)
