10 mol of an ideal gas (gamma= 1.5)expands adiabatically from (400K,10L) to 20 L along following paths. Path A : Reversible Path B : One step expansion. Path C : Two step expansion. Path D : Free expansion Which is/are correct statement(s) ?

Answer»

Final temperature attained along path B is maximum.
Total change in entropy along path-D is 10R In2.
Change in entropy of gas along path A is zero.
Final temperature attained along path D is 400 K.

Solution :`DeltaU=q+w=o +w=w`
`n_(Cvm)(T_(2)-T_(1))=w`
`T_(2)=T_(1)+(w)/(n_(Cvm))`
`w=-x`
`T_(2)=T_(1)+(x)/(n_(Cvm))`
x is minimum along path B. So `T_(2)` is maximum.
Pathd-D
`DeltaS_("total")=DeltaS_("SYSTEM")+DeltaS_("SURROUNDING")`
`Delta_("total")=nC_(vm)ln .(T_(2))/(T_(1))+nRln.(V_(2))/(V_(1))+O`
`T_(2)=T_(1)` (for free expansion)
`DeltaS_("total")=10Rln2`
Path A `DeltaS_("gas")=0` for reversible adiabatic process.
Path-D `T_(2)=T_(1)+(w)/(n_(Cvm))w=0`
`T_(2)=T_(1)=400K`
