Important Questions on Thermodynamics


The above diagram represents the thermodynamic cycle of an engine, operating with an ideal mono-atomic gas. The amount of heat, extracted from the source in a single cycle, is:






[Heat of fusion of ice ; Specific heat of water ]

(R = 8.314 J/mol K) (ln7.5 = 2.01)


The pressure of the gas (in atm) at and respectively, are


The combination of plots which does not represent isothermal expansion of an ideal gas is








The three processes in a thermodynamic cycle shown in the figure are : Process is isothermal; Process is isochoric (volume remains constant); Process is adiabatic.
The total work done by the ideal gas in this cycle is, The internal energy decreases by, in the isochoric process. The work done by the gas in the adiabatic process is, . The heat added to the system in the isothermal process is


The correct option(s) is (are)

(Latent heat of ice is and )
