An ideal gas at initial temperature $T_0$ and initial volume $V_0$ is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2 V_0$. The gas is then expanded isothermally to a volume $5 V_0$ and thereafter compressed adiabatically so that the temperature of the gas becomes again $T_0$. If the final volume of the gas is $\alpha V_0$, then the value of constant $\alpha$ is

  • A
    $2.5$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3$

One mole of an ideal gas $\left( \frac{C_p}{C_v} = \gamma \right)$ is heated according to the law $P = \alpha V$,where $P$ is the pressure of the gas,$V$ is the volume,and $\alpha$ is a constant. What is the molar heat capacity of the gas in this process?

Helium gas undergoes a cycle $ABCDA$ (consisting of two isochoric and two isobaric lines) as shown in the figure. The efficiency of this cycle is nearly ....... $\%$ (Assume the gas to be an ideal gas).
