An engineer claims to have built an engine that delivers $10 \, kW$ of power with a fuel consumption of $1 \, g/s$. If the calorific value of the fuel is $2 \, kcal/g$, is the engineer's claim valid?

The initial pressure and volume of a gas are $P$ and $V$ respectively. First,the gas is expanded to a volume of $9V$ by an isothermal process,and then it is compressed to a volume of $V$ by an adiabatic process. What is its final pressure (in $P$)? (Ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to constant volume $\gamma = \frac{3}{2}$)

An ideal gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled and then allowed to expand adiabatically to regain its original volume ($\gamma = 1.4$ and $2^{-1.4} = 0.38$). The ratio of the final to initial pressure is (in $: 1$)

In the $p-V$ diagram below,the dashed curved line is an adiabat. For a process that is described by a straight line joining two points $X$ and $Y$ on the adiabat (solid line in the diagram),heat is (Hint: consider the variation in temperature from $X$ to $Y$ along the straight line)

Carbon monoxide is carried around a closed cycle $abc$ in which $bc$ is an isothermal process as shown in the figure. The gas absorbs $7000 \; J$ of heat as its temperature increases from $300 \; K$ to $1000 \; K$ in going from $a$ to $b$. The quantity of heat rejected by the gas during the process $ca$ is ..... $J$. (in $; J$)

An ideal monoatomic gas is carried around the cycle $ABCDA$ as shown in the figure. The efficiency of the gas cycle is
