A unit mass of a liquid with volume V1 is completely changed into a gas of volume V2 at a constant external pressure P and temperature T. If the latent heat of evaporation for the given mass is L, then the increase in the internal energy of the system is:
1. Zero
2.
3.
4. L
A monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature \(T_1\), is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature \(T_2\) by releasing the piston suddenly. If \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion, respectively, then \(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\) is given by:
1. \(\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\)
2. \(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\)
3. \(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\)
4. \(\left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\)
An insulator container contains 4 moles of an ideal diatomic gas at a temperature T. If heat Q is supplied to this gas, due to which 2 moles of the gas are dissociated into atoms, but the temperature of the gas remains constant, then:
1. Q = 2RT
2. Q = RT
3. Q = 3RT
4. Q = 4RT
The volume of air (diatomic) increases by \(5\%\) in its adiabatical expansion. The percentage decrease in its pressure will be:
1. | \(5\%\) | 2. | \(6\%\) |
3. | \(7\%\) | 4. | \(8\%\) |
Two Carnot engines A and B are operated in succession. The first one, A receives heat from a source at \(T_1=800\) K and rejects to sink at \(T_2\) K. The second engine, B, receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at \(T_3=300\) K. If the work outputs of the two engines are equal, then the value of \(T_2\) will be:
1. | 100 K | 2. | 300 K |
3. | 550 K | 4. | 700 K |
The 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 the gas will be: [Given: \(\gamma = 1.5\)]
1. | \(P\) | 2. | \(2P\) |
3. | \(4P\) | 4. | \(8P\) |
A reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by \(62^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are:
1. \(80^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
2. \(95^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 28^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
3. \(90^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
4. \(99^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
An ideal gas is taken from point A to point B, as shown in the P-V diagram. The work done in the process is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
If the temperature of the source and the sink in the heat engine is at 1000 K & 500 K respectively, then the efficiency can be:
1. 20%
2. 30%
3. 50%
4. All of these
