The efficiency of a heat engine is $\eta$ and the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is $\beta$. Then:

  • A
    $\eta = \frac{1}{\beta}$
  • B
    $\eta = \frac{1}{\beta + 1}$
  • C
    $\eta \beta = \frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $\eta = \frac{1}{\beta - 1}$

Two cylinders of equal size are filled with an equal amount of ideal diatomic gas at room temperature. Both cylinders are fitted with pistons. In cylinder $A$,the piston is free to move (isobaric process),while in cylinder $B$,the piston is fixed (isochoric process). When the same amount of heat is supplied to both cylinders,the temperature of the gas in cylinder $A$ rises by $30\, K$. What will be the rise in temperature of the gas in cylinder $B$ (in $;K$)?

One mole of a gas expands such that its volume $V$ changes with absolute temperature $T$ in accordance with the relation $V = K T^2$,where $K$ is a constant. If the temperature of the gas changes by $60 \text{ K}$,then the work done by the gas is ($R$ is the universal gas constant).

Air in a cylinder is suddenly compressed by a piston,which is then maintained at the same position. With the passage of time,

$A$ gas expands with temperature according to the relation,$V=k T^{2/3}$,where $k$ is a constant. Work done when the temperature changes by $60 \ K$ is ($R=$ universal gas constant.) (in $R$)
