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?

  • A
    $C = \frac{R}{\gamma - 1}$
  • B
    $C = \frac{\gamma R}{\gamma - 1}$
  • C
    $C = \frac{R}{2} \frac{(\gamma - 1)}{(\gamma + 1)}$
  • D
    $C = \frac{R}{2} \frac{(\gamma + 1)}{(\gamma - 1)}$

An ideal gas exists in a state with pressure $P_0$, volume $V_0$. It is isothermally expanded to $4$ times its initial volume $(V_0)$, then isobarically compressed to its original volume. Finally, the system is heated isochorically to bring it to its initial state. The amount of heat exchanged in this process is

The internal energy of an ideal diatomic gas corresponding to volume $V$ and pressure $P$ is $2.5 PV$. The gas expands from $1 \text{ litre}$ to $2 \text{ litre}$ at a constant pressure of $10^5 \text{ N/m}^2$. The heat supplied to the gas is: (in $\text{ J}$)

If a heat engine and a refrigerator are working between the same two temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$,then the ratio of the efficiency of the heat engine to the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is:

$A$ cyclic process for $1 \, \text{mole}$ of an ideal gas is shown in the $V-T$ diagram. Find the work done in processes $AB$, $BC$, and $CA$ respectively.

View Solution

Starting with the same initial conditions,an ideal gas expands from volume $V_{i}$ to $V_{f}$ in three different ways. The work done by the gas is $W_{1}$ if the process is purely isothermal,$W_{2}$ if the process is purely adiabatic,and $W_{3}$ if the process is purely isobaric. Then,choose the correct option.
