The second law of thermodynamics states that in a cyclic process:
1. Work cannot be converted into heat
2. Heat cannot be converted into work
3. Work cannot be completely converted into heat
4. Heat cannot be completely converted into work
First law of thermodynamics is a special case of
(1) Newton's law
(2) Law of conservation of energy
(3) Charle's law
(4) Law of heat exchange
A monoatomic gas of n-moles is heated from temperature T1 to T2 under two different conditions (i) at constant volume and (ii) at constant pressure. The change in internal energy of the gas is
(1) More for (i)
(2) More for (ii)
(3) Same in both cases
(4) Independent of number of moles
In isothermal expansion, the pressure is determined by:
1. | Temperature only |
2. | Compressibility only |
3. | Both temperature and compressibility |
4. | None of these |
1. | will be the same in both \(A\) and \(B\). |
2. | will be zero in both the gases. |
3. | of \(B\) will be more than that of \(A\). |
4. | of \(A\) will be more than that of \(B\). |
The work done in an adiabatic change in a gas depends only on
(1) Change is pressure
(2) Change is volume
(3) Change in temperature
(4) None of the above
The pressure and density of a diatomic gas changes adiabatically from (P, d) to (P', d'). If , then should be:
1. | 1/128 | 2. | 32 |
3. | 128 | 4. | None of the above |
Air in a cylinder is suddenly compressed by a piston, which is then maintained at the same position. With the passage of time
1. | The pressure decreases |
2. | The pressure increases |
3. | The pressure remains the same |
4. | The pressure may increase or decrease depending upon the nature of the gas |
In an adiabatic expansion of a gas, if the initial and final temperatures are \(T_1\) and \(T_2\), respectively, then the change in internal energy of the gas is:
1. \(\frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_2-T_1)\)
2. \(\frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_1-T_2)\)
3. \(nR ~(T_1-T_2)\)
4. Zero
One mole of helium is adiabatically expanded from its initial state to its final state . The decrease in the internal energy associated with this expansion is equal to
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
