A frictionless piston-cylinder based enclosure contains some amount of gas at pressure 400 k Pa. Then heat is transferred to the gas at constant pressure in a quasi-static process. The piston moves at slowly through a hight of 10 cm. In the piston has a cross-section area of 0.3 m2, the work done by the gas in this process is

A solid of constant heat capacity 1 JC-1 is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways :

(i) Sequentially keeping in contact with 2 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.

(ii) Sequentially keeping in contact with 8 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies the same amount of heat. In both the cases body is brought from initial temperature 100°C to final 200°C. Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is :

An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a horizontal cylinder by a spring loading piston (as shown in Fig 20.63). Initially the gas is at temperature T1 pressure P1 and volume V1 and the spring is in relaxed state. The gas is then Fig. 20.63 heated very slowly to temperature T2, pressure p2 and volume V2. During this process the piston moves out by a distance X. Ignoring the friction between the piston and the cylinder, the correct statements s is (are)
