One mole of an ideal gas is taken through a cyclic process with alternating isothermal and adiabatic curves. In the $P-V$ diagram, $AB, CD, EF$ are isothermal curves at absolute temperatures $T_1, T_2,$ and $T_3$ respectively, and $BC, DE,$ and $FA$ are adiabatic curves. If $\frac{V_B}{V_A} = 2$ and $\frac{V_D}{V_C} = 2$, then for the cycle shown in the figure, four statements are made below. (Figure is not drawn to scale)
Statement $1$: Ratio of volumes $\frac{V_E}{V_F} = 4$
Statement $2$: Magnitude of work done in isothermal compression $EF$ is $2RT_3 \ln(2)$
Statement $3$: Ratio of heat supplied to the gas in process $AB$ to heat rejected by the gas in process $EF$ is $\frac{T_1}{T_3}$
Statement $4$: Net work done by the gas in the cycle $ABCDEFA$ is $(T_1 + T_2 - 2T_3) R \ln(2)$
Find the number of correct statements given for the cyclic process followed by the gas.

    $1$
  • B

In the $p-V$ diagram below,the dashed curved line is an adiabat. For a process that is described by a straight line joining two points $X$ and $Y$ on the adiabat (solid line in the diagram),heat is (Hint: consider the variation in temperature from $X$ to $Y$ along the straight line)

$A$ gas may expand either adiabatically or isothermally. $A$ number of $P-V$ curves are drawn for the two processes over different ranges of pressure and volume. It will be found that:

When $Q_1$ amount of heat is supplied to a monatomic gas, the work done by the gas is $W$. When $Q_2$ amount of heat is supplied to a diatomic gas, the work done by the gas is $2W$. Then $Q_1: Q_2=$

Two gases have the same initial pressure,volume,and temperature. They expand to the same final volume,one adiabatically and the other isothermally.

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain an equal amount of an ideal diatomic gas at temperature $T$ $K$. The piston of cylinder $A$ is free to move,while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $dT_{A}$,then the rise in temperature of the gas in cylinder $B$ is (where $\gamma = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$):
