A diatomic ideal gas is used in a Carnot engine as the working substance. If during the adiabatic expansion part of the cycle, the volume of the gas increases from V to 32 V, the efficiency of the engine is:

Answer»

`0.25`
`0.5`
`0.75`
`0.99`

Solution :Now for adiabatic PROCESS
`TV^(gamma-1)=` constant
`therefore (T_(2))/(T_(1))=((V_(1))/(V_(2)))^(gamma-1)=((1)/(32))^((7)/(5)-1)=((1)/(32))^(2//5)=(1)/(4)`
`therefore eta =1-(1)/(4)=(3)/(4)=0.75`
So, correct CHOICES are (c ).
