(N/A) $1$. Work to Heat: In winter,when we rub our palms together,the mechanical work done in rubbing is converted into thermal energy (heat),which makes our palms feel warmer.
$2$. Heat to Work: In a steam engine,the thermal energy (heat) released from steam is used to perform mechanical work by pushing pistons,which in turn rotate the wheels of the train.

An ideal gas,initially in state $(P_{12}, V_1, T_1)$ is expanded isobarically to $(P_{12}, V_2, T_2)$,then adiabatically to $(P_{34}, V_3, T_3)$. It is then contracted isobarically to $(P_{34}, V_4, T_4)$ and finally adiabatically back to the initial state. The efficiency of this cycle is

Two gases $A$ and $B$ are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radius $r_A$ and $r_B$,respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the systems reversibly under constant pressure,the pistons of gas $A$ and $B$ are displaced by $16 \ cm$ and $9 \ cm$,respectively. If the change in their internal energy is the same,then the ratio $\frac{r_A}{r_B}$ is equal to

One mole of a diatomic ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process $ABC$ as shown in the figure. The process $BC$ is adiabatic. The temperatures at $A, B$ and $C$ are $400 \ K, 800 \ K$ and $600 \ K$ respectively. Choose the correct statement.

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