Two Carnot engines A and B are operated in succession. The first one, A receives heat from a source at T1 = 800 K and rejects to sink at T2 K. The second engine B receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at T3 = 300 K. If the work outputs of two engines are equal, then the value of T2 is -

Explanation

ηA=T1T2T1=WAQ1ηB=T2T3T2=WBQ2

Q1Q2=T1T2×T2T3T1T2=T1T2

WA = WB

T2=T1+T32=800+3002=550K

Explanation

For monoatomic gas

γ=CPCV=53 we know ΔQ=nCPΔT

and ΔU=nCVΔTΔUΔQ=CVCP=35

i.e. fraction of heat energy to increase the internal energy be 3/5.

When an ideal gas (γ = 5/3) is heated under constant pressure, then what percentage of given heat energy will be utilised in doing external work ?

Two samples A and B of a gas initially at the same pressure and temperature are compressed from volume V to V/2 (A isothermally and B adiabatically). The final pressure of A is

Explanation

A is compressed isothermally, hence

P1V=P2V2P2=2P1

and B is compressed adiabatically, hence

P1Vγ=P2V2γP2=(2)γP1

Since γ>1, hence P2'>P2 or P2<P'2

Initial pressure and volume of a gas are P and V respectively. First it is expanded isothermally to volume 4V and then compressed adiabatically to volume V. The final pressure of gas will be [Given : γ=1.5 ]-

Explanation

In isothermal process P1V1=P2V2

or PV=P2×4V

P2=P4

In adiabatic process

P2V2γ=P3V3γ

P4×(4V)1.5=P2V1.5

P3=2P

A reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by 62°C, the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are -

Explanation

Initially η=1T2T1=WQ=16  ...(i)

Finally η'=1T2'T1=1(T262)T1=1T2T1+62T1

=η+62T1 ....(ii)

It is given that η'=2η. Hence solving equation (i) and (ii)

T1=372K=99°C and T2=310K=37°C

An ideal gas expands in such a manner that its pressure and volume can be related by equation PV5/3 = constant. During this process, the gas is

Explanation

PV5/3= constant represents adiabatic equation.

So during the expansion of ideal gas internal energy of gas decreases and temperature falls.

P-V diagram of a diatomic gas is a straight line passing through origin. The molar heat capacity of the gas in the process will be -

Explanation

P-V diagram of the gas is a straight line passing through origin. Hence PV or PV1= constant

Molar heat capacity in the process PVx=constant is 

C=Rγ1+R1x; Here γ=1.4 (For diatomic gas)

C=R1.41+R1+1C=3R

Two cylinders A and B fitted with pistons contain equal amounts of an ideal diatomic gas at 300 K. The piston of 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 30 K, then the rise in temperature of the gas in B is 

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

In both cylinders A and B the gases are diatomic (γ = 1.4). Piston A is free to move i.e. it is isobaric process. Piston B is fixed i.e. it is isochoric process. If same amount of heat ΔQ is given to both then

(ΔQ)isobaric=(ΔQ)isochoricμCp(ΔT)A=μCv(ΔT)B

(ΔT)B=CpCv(ΔT)A=γ(ΔT)A=1.4×30=42K.
