The equation of state for a gas is given by `PV = eta RT + alpha V`, where `eta` is the number of moles and `alpha` a positive constant. The intinal pressure and temperature of 1 mol of the gas contained in a cylinder is `P_(0)` and `T_(0)`, respectively. The work done by the gas when its temperature doubles isobarically will beA. `(P_(0)T_(0)R)/(P_(0) - alpha)`B. `(P_(0)T_(0)R)/(P_(0) + alpha)`C. `P_(0)T_(0)R In 2`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`DeltaW = PDeltaV [PV=mu RT+alphaV]`
`P_(0)[(muRDeltaT)/(P_(0)-alpha)]=:. PDeltaT = mu RT+alphaDeltaT`
or `DeltaV = (muRDeltaT)//(P-alpha)]`
`i.e., DeltaW = (P_(0)RT_(0))/(P_(0)-alpha) [mu-1]`.

n moles of a diatomic gas has undergone a cyclic process ABC as shown in figure. Temperature at a is `T_(0)`. Find a. Volume at C ? b. Maximum temperature ? c. Total heat given to gas ? d. Is heat rejected by the gas, if yes how much heat is rejected ? e. Find out the efficiency

Answer» Since triangle `O A V_(0)` and OC V are similar therefore
`(2P_(0))/(V) = (P_(0))/(V_(0)) implies V = 2 v_(0)`
b. Since process AB is isochoric hence
`(P_(A))/(T_(A)) = (P_(B))/(T_(B)) implies T_(B) = 2T_(0)`
Since process BC is isobaric therefore `(T_(B))/(V_(B)) = (T_(C))/(V_(C ))`
`implies T_(C ) = 2 T_(B) = 4 T_(0)`
Since process is cyclic therefore
`Delta Q = Delta w`= area under the cycle ` =(1)/(2) P_(0) V_(0)`.
d. Since `Delta u` and `Delta W` both are negative in process CA
`:. Delta Q` is negative in process ca and heat is rejected in process CA
`Delta Q_(CA) = Delta W_(CA) + Delta U_(CA)`
`= - (1)/(20) [P_(0) + 2 P_(0)] V_(0) - (5)/(2) nr (T_(c ) - T_(a))`
`= -(1)/(2) [P_(0) + 2 P_(0)] V_(0) - (5)/(2) nR ((4 P_(0) V _(0))/(nR) - (P_(0) V_(0))/(nR))`
`= - 9 P_(0) V_(0) =` Heat injected.
e. `eta = ` efficiency of the cycle
`= ("work done by the gas")/("heat injected") = eta = (P_(0) V_(0)//2)/(Q_("injected") xx 100`
`Delta Q_("inj") = Delta W_(AB) + Delta U_(BC)`
` = [(5)/(2) nr (2T_(0) - T_(0))] + [(5)/(2) nRT (2 T_(0)) + 2P_(0) (2V_(0) - V_(0))]`
`(19)/(2) P_(0) V_(0)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Since path `AB` and `CD` are isochoric therefore work done is zero during path `AB` and `CD`. Process `BC` and `DA` are isothermal therefore,
`W_(BC) = nR2T_(0)1n(V_C)/(V_B) = 2nRT_(0)1n2`
`W_(DA) = nRT_(0)1n(V_A)/(V_D) = -nRT_(0)1n2`
Total work done
`W_(BC)+W_(DA)=2nRT_(0)1n 2=nRT_(0) 1n 2`.

T-V curve of cyclic process is shown below, number of moles of the gas are n find the total work done during the cycle.

Answer» Since path AB and CD are isohroic therefore work done is zero during AB and CD process BC and DA are isothermal, therefore
`W_(BC) = nR2T_(0) 1n (V_(C ))/(V_(B)) = 2 nRT_(0) 1n 2`
`W_(DA) = nRT_(0) 1n (V_(A))/(V_(D)) = - nRT_(0) 1n 2`
Total wor done
`W_(BC) + W_(DA) = e nRT_(0) 1n 2 = nRT_(0) 1n 2`
709.

P-T curve of a cyclic process is shown. Find out the works done by the gas in the given proces if number of moles of the gas are n. A. `nR(T_(1) + T_(3) - T_(4) + T_(2))`B. `nR(T_(1) - T_(3) - T_(4) + T_(2))`C. `nR(T_(1) + T_(3) + T_(4) - T_(2))`D. `nR(T_(1) + T_(3) - T_(4) - T_(2))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Since paths `AB` and `CD` are isochoric, therefore work done during `AB` and `CD` is zero. Paths `BC` and `DA` are isobaric.
Hence , `W_(BC) = nRTDeltaT= nR(T_(3)-T_(2))`
`W_(DA) = nR(T_1-T_4)`
Total work done = `W_(BC)+W_(DA) = nR(T_(1)+T_(3)-T_(4)-T_(2))`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by
`eta=1-(T_2)/(T_1)`
or `W/Q = 1-(T_2)/(T_1)implies W/6=1-((273+27))/((273+127))`
`implies W = 1.2 kcal`.

An ideal gas heat engine operates in Carnot cycle between `227^(@)C` and `127^(@)C`. It absorbs `6 x 10^(4) cals` of heat at higher temperature. Amount of heat converted to work isA. `2.4 xx 10^(4) cal`B. `6 xx 10^(4) cal`C. `1.2 xx 10^(4) cal`D. `4.8 xx 10^(4) cal`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
We have `Q/T` = consta nt `implies (Q_2)/(Q_1)=(T_2)/(T_1)`
Given, `Q_(1)=6xx10^(4) cal`,
`T_(1)=227+273=500K`
`T_(2) = 127+273 = 400K`
`:. (Q_2)/(6xx10^4)= 400/500`
`implies Q_(2) = 4/5xx6xx10^(4)=4.8xx10^(4)cal`
Now heat converted to work
`=Q_(1) - Q_(2) = 6.0xx10^(4)-4.8xx10^(4)=1.2xx10^(4)cal`
Aliter: `eta = (T_1-T_2)/(T_1) = W/Q implies W = (Q(T_1-T_2))/(T_1)`
`W = (6xx10^(4)[(227+273)-(273+127)])/((227+273))`
`implies W = (6xx10^(4)xx100)/(500)=1.2xx10^(4)cal`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
c. Differentiating
`gamma T^(gamma - 1) dT P^(1 - gamma) + T^(gamma) (1 - gamma) P^(-gamma) dP = 0`
or `dT = ((gamma - 1) T)/(gamma P) = dP`
or, `dT = ((1.5 - 1)/(1.5)) ((273)/(76 xx 13.6 xx 981) xx 0.001)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`Delta Q = 54cal = 54xx4.18joule = 225.72` joule
`DeltaW = P[V_(steam)-V_(water)]`
[for water 0.1 gram = 0.1 c c]
`=1.013xx10^(5)[167xx10^(-6)-0.1xx10^(-6)]"joule"`
`=1.013xx167xx10^(-1)=16.917 "joule"`
By first law of thermodyamics
`implies DeltaU=DeltaQ-DeltaW=225.72-16.917`
`DeltaU = 208.8 "Joule"`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
No attractive or repulsive force acts between gas molecules in an ideal gases. Molecules do not exert that force on the wall which they would have exerted in the absence of intermolecular force. Therefore, the observed pressure P of the gas will be less than that present in the absence of the gas will be less than that present in the absence of intermolecular force. Hence, the attractive

Find the efficeincy of the thermodynamic cycle shown in figure for an ideal diatomic gas.

Answer» Let n be the number of moles of the gas and the temperature be `T_(0)` in the state A.
Now, work done during the cycle
`W=(1)/(2)xx(2V_(0)-V_(0))(2P_(0)-P_(0))=(1)/(2)P_(0)V_(0)`
For the heat `(DeltaQ_(1))` given during the process
`ArarrB`, we have
`DeltaQ_(1)=DeltaW_(AB)+DeltaU_(AB)`
`DeltaW_(AB)=` area under the straight line AB
`=(1)/(2)(P_(0)+2P_(0))(2V_(0)-V_(0))=(3P_(0)V_(0))/(2)`
Applying equation of state for the gas in the state A `&` B.
`(P_(0)V_(0))/(T_(0))=((2P_(0))(2V_(0)))/(T_(B))rArrT_(B)=4T_(0)`
`thereforeU_(AB)=nC_(v)DeltaT=n((5R)/(2))(4T_(0)-T_(0))`
`=(15nRT_(2))/(2)=(15P_(0)V_(0))/(2)`
`therefore DeltaQ_(1)=(3)/(2)P_(0)V_(0)+(15)/(2)P_(0)V_(0)=9P_(0)V_(0)`
Obviously, the processes `BrarrC` and `CrarrA`
involve the abstraction of heat from the gas.
`"Efficiency"=("Work done per cycle")/("Total heat supplied per cycle")`
i.e., `eta=((1)/(2)P_(0)V_(0))/(9P_(0)V_(0))=(1)/(18)`
