The initial pressure and volume of a given mass of an ideal gas (with $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{V}}=\gamma$), taken in a cylinder fitted with a piston, are $p_{0}$ and $V_{0}$ respectively. At this stage, the gas has the same temperature as that of the surrounding medium, which is $T_{0}$. It is adiabatically compressed to a volume equal to $\frac{V_{0}}{2}$. Subsequently, the gas is allowed to come to thermal equilibrium with the surroundings. What is the heat released to the surrounding?

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $(2^{\gamma-1}-1) \frac{p_{0} V_{0}}{\gamma-1}$
  • C
    $\gamma p_{0} V_{0} \ln 2$
  • D
    $\frac{p_{0} V_{0}}{2(\gamma-1)}$

During a thermodynamic process, the increase in internal energy of a system is equal to the work done on the system. Which process does the system undergo?

$A$ spherical bubble inside water has radius $R$. Take the pressure inside the bubble and the water pressure to be $p_0$. The bubble now gets compressed radially in an adiabatic manner so that its radius becomes $(R-a)$. For $a \ll R$,the magnitude of the work done in the process is given by $(4 \pi p_0 R a^2) X$,where $X$ is a constant and $\gamma = C_p / C_V = 41 / 30$. The value of $X$ is:
